3 cue-in (volatile in PLAY). 4 scrub position [jog].
5 player pos. (or absolute time
[TC jam]).
6 filetag (or scene
[shift][eye]).
7 cue-out (or take [shift][eye]).
notes:
• the displayed mm:ss time is relative to the start of file, the
file absolute TC appears by pressing [TC jam].
• in PLAY and X00 (1), the cue-in (3) is volatile, i.e. not stored when
exiting; the out-point (7) is the end of file, i.e. the duration.
• in scrub, each [jog] tick moves the player by one second,
delivering very intelligible forward and reverse dialogue.
• to edit 'scene & take' entries, scrub over the autoslate mark,
listen to the announce, then go to BROWSE.
• to read the size of one track of a group, go to BROWSE.
• the LTC output carries the TC & fps of the play-file, not the
project TC, it can be used to slave a chasing VTR.
Reminder: when going to PLAY or BLUE-PL AY, take your time
while passing over STOP; if the message 'you were too
fast' appears, go back to STOP for one second.
Play-card creation read p.48 & p.49
1- Go to BLUE-PLAY (note1), then [shift] [>] to choose a Play-file
among indexes A to L, the file index is displayed in (1).
2- With [<] or [>], select an empty card, e.g. A01, among
the fifty-one cards per file. A00 (the factory card) is not
empty, it contains the entire play-file; it can't store a cue-in,
its cue-out (7) is the duration of the take.
3- To fill an empty card, scrub the audio with the [jog] (4), press
the [black] button to set a cue-in (3), scrub further and press the
[gold] button to set a cue-out (7);
a half second silence is inserted
at the cue-out to let you detect
and fine tune its position. The
last entered cue points replace
the former ones.
Once a cue-in has been entered (a cue-out is not necessary), an
empty card becomes a play-card. The cue points are stored in
the iXML chunk of the file and will only be removed if you erase
the play-card; to do so, [jog] to 00:00 and press [gold].
To hide a play-card without erasing its cues, press [shift] [gold].
Tagged with a '
*
' character, the card is no longer visible in the
BLUE-TEST/BLUE-REC play list, shortening it .
4- With [>] select a play-card and press [ok] to play it from its
cue-in. If there is no cue-out in this card or if you want to stop
the playback before reaching the cue-out, press [ok]. Press
[ok] again to restart from the cue-in. Press [esc] to pause,
press [esc] to resume play (there is NO delay between 'play'
and the audio output).
not e1: to get access to the BLUE-PLAY position, press and hold the
blue [shift] button while rotating the [MainSelector] to PLAY.
