4.1 AUTOLOCATION CONTROLS
Autolocation is a powerful function of the BRC. It works by specifying
up to 20 different locate points, which are referenced to the time code
embedded in the tape’s format. Each locate point can be given a name
of your choosing for easy reference, and you can select from a list of
preset names (“Intro”, “Verse A1”, etc.). You can tell the BRC to go to
any one of these 20 locate points at any time. Additionally, a manual
locate point (Locate 00) is available for locating to any position
without having to store it permanently into one of the 20
programmable locate points.
• The slave ADATs will either rewind or fast forward (as indicated
by the REWIND or FAST FORWARD button flashing on the BRC,
and the REW or FFW LED flashing on the ADATs), to find the
specified locate point.
• If you initiate a locate while in Record mode, the BRC will punch
out before autolocating.
• The ADATs will stop after locating, unless Auto Play (see section
4.2I) is enabled or the Play button is pressed during the autolocate
process, in which case the BRC will put the ADATs into play after
completing the locate.
4.1A Reset 0
This button can be pressed at any time to reset the tape counter to 0,
even though the absolute time is different. This is because we are
setting the relative 0 time, and the absolute time is written onto the
tape when it is formatted. If the tape counter was in ABSOLUTE
mode, it will turn off and the RELATIVE LED will light. The RESET 0
button only has an affect when the Display type is NORMAL, and
does not affect either SMPTE or BARS.
• Regardless of where the 0 point is set, the locate points (see section
4.1C) will remain unchanged (i.e., the absolute location remains
the same even if the displayed relative value is changed). If the
tape is rewound to a position before the 0 point, the counter will
show the time as a negative number while the display is in
Relative mode.
• Regardless of where the 0 point is set, the ADAT’s counter will
indicate “LEAd” during the first 15 seconds of setup data and
“dAtA” during the next two minutes of setup data at the
