The Control Area

5.6 The Slave Mode Control Window

the respective software module without relinquishing the slave mode:

In slave mode the DVS system will behave like a VTR by using preroll,

postroll, etc. The specifications of these parameters can be found in sec-

For more information about timecode/frame number fields

and their format refer to section “About Timecode / Frame

Number Fields” on page 2-17.

Select from the Remote protocol combo box the

RS-422 protocol that should be used to control the

DVS system (see also section “Slave Mode /

RS-422 Control” on page A-18).

The buttons I

N and OUT enable you to select an

in-/outpoint directly from the current position of

the timeline cursor. Move the timeline cursor via

the Pos field (see below) or its controls (see below)

to the position that you want to set. Then press the

respective button and the entry field to its right will

take on the selected position. With an activated in-

or outpoint (L buttons, see below) these buttons

allow you to jump to the in-/outpoint directly.

These buttons activate the in- and outpoint set in

their corresponding entry fields to the right.

To position the in- and/or outpoint you can also

enter a particular position in the entry fields to the

right directly. For an activation of an in-/outpoint

you may press [Enter] or use their activation but-

tons (see above).
