Set
The SET switch has three primary functions:
When time code is displayed Press Set once to
change the Display from time code to parameter
names.
When a parameter name is visible Press Set once
to change the Display to show parameter values.
When a parameter value is visible Press Set once
to set the value for that parameter and return
the Display to time code.
Down and Up
These switches scroll through parameter names
or values:
When a parameter name is visible Press the
Down and Up switches to scroll through the pa-
rameter names (for example, from “SET GEn” to
“VIdEo SY”).
When a parameter value is visible Press the
Down and Up switches to scroll through the
range of values for the current parameter.
When entering time code values Press the Down
and Up switches simultaneously to cycle
through the hours:minutes:seconds:frames
fields in the time code display.
Run/Stop/Clear/Esc
This switch has two functions, depending on
the current mode:
While generating time code Press
RUN/STOP/CLEAR/ESC to start or stop the time
code generator when SYNC I/O is in Generator
Preset mode.
While time code is being displayed Press
RUN/STOP/CLEAR/ESC to reset the counter
whenever time code is visible in the LED Time
Code display.
Otherwise, the RUN/STOP/CLEAR/ESC switch
serves as a Cancel button.
