This shows the current time (CURRENT) and the start and

(START TC, STOP TC). When you press a device
selection button, the button lights, selecting the assigned
device as the reference device, and displaying its setting

and stop points of the last set keyframe on the timeline.
When the keyframe number is changed and the last
register and keyframe change, the display also changes
(timeline setting mode).

Cueup & Play (rewind action) start and stop points.

Device selection buttons
These buttons are used for selecting assigned external
devices or frame memory clips.
Each button can only be assigned to a single device. Carry

button, which lights green. To select more than one device
simultaneously, hold down the button for the first

selections in turn. The second and subsequent selected
buttons light amber. If you press another button without
holding down the first selected button, the second button
