5.1.4 Time Code Offset
This function will allow you to offset your time code track starting at any location (frame) on the disk.
NTSC users should first select
their time code frame rate from the Drop Frame menu option (Drop or
Non Drop). To enter your Time Code Offset locate to any position on the drive, manually enter the new
time code desired at that location and then hold down the OPTION key while hitting the IN key. The
Time Code offset will be permanently saved on the drive.
This Time Code Offset function is useful to transform an Absolute Time track into a Time Code track;
once the right offset is set for a recording done in A-Time, it will behave as if time code was recorded on
the drive.
5.2 SPECIAL PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS
5.2.1 OPTION PLAY Command or Chase Command
To execute a Chase command, you should hold down the OPTION key and press PLAY. Both the
source machine and the V1 should be synchronized
to the same source of House Sync and the time code
should be fed from the source machine into the LTC IN of the V1. Begin playing the source machine.
The V1 will begin playing as soon as it sees time code that is within the range defined for the active drive
and will continue playing in stand alone mode
, so a stop on the incoming LTC will not stop the V1.
This Chase command is different from the Chase to LTC mode (See Section 5.2.2, "Chase to LTC", in
that mode, the V1 will stay locked to the incoming LTC). Note that during OPTION PLAY, the V1 LCD
displays PLAY with a black dot to indicate that the play is in sync with the source.
5.2.2 CHASE to LTC Time Code mode
To put the V1 into the "Chase to LTC" mode, change the menu (03) to "Chase to LTC". Both the source
machine and the V1 should be synchronized
to the same source of House Sync and the time code should
be fed from the source machine into the LTC IN of the V1. Begin playing the source machine. The V1
will begin playing as soon as it sees time code that is within the range defined for the active drive and
will continue to play LOCKED to the incoming LTC, so a stop on the incoming LTC will also stop the
V1. Note that during this chase play, the V1 LCD displays "VAR" to indicate that it can chase at
different speeds.
5.2.3 CHASE to RS422 or Serial Time Code mode
This mode requires a special cable described in section 9.4
To put the V1 into the Chase to RS422 or Serial Time Code mode, change the menu (03) to Chase to
Serial TC. Both the source machine and the V1 should be synchronized
to the same source of House
Sync and the time code should be fed from the source machine into the RS422 port of the V1. Begin
playing the source machine (DAW). The V1 will begin playing as soon as it sees a time code within the
range defined for the active drive and will continue to play LOCKED to the incoming RS422 timecode.
Note that during this chase play, the V1 LCD displays "VAR" to indicate that it can chase at different
speeds.
NOTE 2
: Don't put the menu (03) Chase on "RS422" to have a standard RS422 control operation
on the V1. The standard RS422 control
is done with menu (03) Chase in the OFF position.
5.2.4 CHASE to BI-PHASE mode
To put the V1 into the Chase to Biphase mode, 3 steps are required :
Make sure that PORT2 is set to MIDI/BIPHASE. All 9 jumpers on J34 should be set to the
MIDI+BIPHASE position. Units are shipped as PORT2 set to SERIAL PORT by default.
Select the frequency input using Option Menu (18) "Clks/Frame".
Change the menu (03) to "Chase to Biphase" and menu (01) to "A-Time" (Refer to Section 4.1).
