Operation Guide
Start Timecode
This will define the start time of the cues, if the Cuelist has set the
Trigger Mode to Timecode. This is a quick way to enter timecode
offsets.
Learn Next Times
The Learn Next Times Button is very useful if you need to learn next or
Timecode timings for given Cuelist. When the Cuelist is in Learn
Timing Mode, the current Cue's color will be indicated with a magenta
background color, and each press of the Go button will cause the cuelist
to add the time elapsed between the start of this cue and the Go command to start the next Cue into the "Next" Time
field. If the Cuelist is set to Timecode, it will set the Cue time to the Timecode that was received during the press of
the Go Button.
Convert Timecode to Next-Time
This function may be used to convert already existing absolute
Timecode timings to relative Next Times.
Convert Next-Time to Timecode
This may be used to convert Next Times to Timecode times. This way it
is possible to "Learn Timing" for a cuelist while not receiving
Timecode, and later set the Cuelist Trigger to Timecode. Then you just
need to enter the Timecode Start Time (as described above) and hit the
Convert Next-Time to Timecode button.
