23.5 Editing Timecode Values for a Cue
To change the timecode value used to trigger a cue:
1. Open → Choose : open the Cuelist window.
2. Select the Wait cell for the cue, and press Set.
3. From the toolbar, select Timecode.
4. Enter a timecode value in hours, minutes, seconds and frames, in the form
h h / m m/ s s . f f , then press En ter.
You may need to change the timecode value for one cue, and then change the timecode
values for subsequent cues by the same amount, to keep the same relative timings. For
example, you might have a series of cues where each one is triggered by timecode one
second after the previous one. If the timecode value triggering the first cue needs to be
increased by 12 frames, you may want the values for all the subsequent cues to also be
increased by 12 frames to maintain the 1 second separation. Hog 4 OS allows you to do this
easily:
1. Open → Choose : open the Cuelist window.
2. Click and drag to select the Wa it cells for the range of cues you want to edit.
3. Press Set.
4. Edit the timecode value of the first cell then press Enter. All the selected timecode
values will be adjusted by the same amount of time added or subtracted from the first
value.
23.6 Simulating LTC
You can temporarily simulate timecode, perhaps because the actual LTC source is not
available during programming. Timecode simulation is controlled from the Timecod e
Toolbar .
To simulate timecode:
1. Press the simulate button on the Timecode Toolbar. Simulate is now enabled and all
external timecode input for that LTC source will be ignored.
2. Press the GO button located to the right of the simulate button to simulate timecode.
Tip: Using the jump toolbar you can jump the simulated timecode to six different jump
points by clicking on the jump button and then clicking on one of the six jump buttons. To
change the jump button values click on the word "TIMECODE" on the far left hand side of
the timecode toolbar. A drop down menu will appear with a set of fields allowing you to
change the jump points.
