Press the DISPLAY MODE button until SNAPSHOT mode is selected. Use the
UP or DOWN buttons or the Jog wheel to select the required snapshot number
in the display.
Press the DISPLAY MODE button until TC DISPLAY mode is selected.
Run the tape or timecode until the required timecode point is reached, then press
the STORE button at the desired moment. The timecode value at the moment
the STORE button is pressed will be saved along with the previously stored mute
settings, for that snapshot.
Note: You will not see a "Storing..." message until the tape or timecode is stopped -this
is to maximise CPU efficiency and avoid timing errors while the code is running.
This process can be repeated for other snapshots by selecting the required snap-
shot number while the tape or code is running and pressing STORE at the
required moment. Several snapshots can be selected in succession and have time-
code values allocated -there is no need to stop the tape between each one.
Press the REPLAY ON button (10) to enable playback of the snapshots against
timecode.

Once the timecode values have been allocated on-the-fly as described above, it is
useful to be able to interrogate each snapshot to see what its timecode value is,
and if necessary change it. This process is done off-line, i.e. with the tape or time-
code stopped.
Select the required snapshot using the UP/DOWN buttons or Jog Wheel. (The
Display Mode must be set to SNAPSHOT mode to do this). Press the RECALL
button to recall the snapshot. Select TC DISP using the DISPLAY MODE button.
Double-click the REPLAY ON button: its LED starts flashing. This selects
Timecode Edit mode. The 7-segment display now shows the timecode value cur-
rently assigned to the recalled snapshot. If no timecode value has been allocated,
the display will show 00:00:00:00.
To edit the timecode value, use the UP/DOWN buttons to move the flashing dig-
its to the left or right so that hours, minutes, seconds or frames can be selected.
Note that in the frames field, two dots are used to indicate quarter-frames. The dots
illuminate in the sequence no dots, one dot, two dots, to show zero, one, two and
three quarter frames respectively. This allows very accurate editing of a snapshot trig-
ger point.
Turn the Jog Wheel to edit the value. To save the changes, press the REPLAY
ON button to exit timecode edit mode -the message "Storing..." appears briefly.

This is done by allocating a timecode value of zero to the snapshots. Individual
snapshots can be selected and the value changed to 00:00:00:00 using Timecode
Edit mode as described above, or the ALL snapshot can be selected, in which case
all 128 snapshots will have any timecode values cleared. The console is shipped
from the factory with no timecode values assigned to any snapshots.
