Feet + Frames or H:M:S:F Display
The recorder’s time can be displayed in the H:M:S:F format (the default SMPTE timecode) or the Feet + Frames format commonly
used for film. To choose the format, press the H:M:S:F or the Feet + Frames key in the Locate Registers Panel to activate that dis-
play format.
Feet + Frames Offset
The FF o-set (offset) is applied to incoming timecode only if Feet + Frames is active. The timecode is displayed without the off-
set if the H:M:S:F format is active.
To set the FF o-set time:
1 Enter a timecode into the locate time display using the numeric keypad on the center section Automation Panel.
The entire time must be entered. When the first numeric key is pressed, the display clears to enter the new value.
2 Press Store Locate and then the FF o-set key in the Locate Registers Panel to transfer the locate time to the FF o-set field.
Film Type
The Feet+Frames display can be set to 3 mm, 35 mm 25 Fr, 16 mm, or 16 mm Key (half-feet).
