SYNC PLAYBACK
Enables/disables the synched playback feature. When enabled (default), in gang mode, any time PLAY is
used after a gang cue is complete, a synched playback operation is performed which plays all enabled VTRs
in frame accurate synchronization (see SYNCHED PLAYBACK). Synched playback can be prevented
without disabling this menu item by tapping STOP between a gang cue and PLAY.
AUTO RESYNCH
Enables/disables the auto re-synch feature. When enabled (default), in gang mode, and if manual re-synch,
gang cue, or gang MARK is used since the last time gang mode was entered, all selected VTRs are restored
to frame accurate synchronization when still speed is reached (see RE-SYNCH AND AUTO RE-SYNCH).
JOG FROM PLAY
Enables/disables automatic Jog when knob is turned in the Play mode (default is disabled). If enabled, when
the knob is turned while in Play mode, Jog mode is automatically entered. This is normally disabled to
prevent an accidental bump of the knob from stopping important playback such as play to air.
STILL AFTER CUE
Enables/disables the still after cue feature. When enabled (default), after a cue is complete, the VTR is put
into Jog still mode.
KNOB SENSITIVITY
Reduces the overall sensitivity of the Knob by two or four fold. If you feel the Knob is too sensitive in all
modes, use this item to reduce it’s sensitivity.
JOG USE VP CMD
Substitutes variable play commands for jog when in Jog mode. Jog mode operates as usual, but the SONY
protocol variable play commands are sent instead of jog to fix problems with certain devices.
JOG MAX SPEED
Limits the maximum speed tape will move while in the Jog mode. Use the Knob to set the fastest speed
tape will travel by turning the Knob in the Jog mode. The JOG MAX SPEED may be set from zero to 500%
Play speed. The JOG MAX SPEED defaults to 300% Play speed
JOG SENSITIVITY
Adjusts the speed the Knob must be turned in the Jog mode to reach the JOG MAX SPEED.
