The End Time is defined in three different ways:
- End of Mix: The Last Recorded Value will be applied until the End
Time of the Active Mix.
- End of Time: The Last Recorded Value will be applied up to the last
possible timecode location (i.e. 23:59:59.2X). The number of frames
will be determined by the selected timecode frame rate.
- Fixed…: The Last Recorded Value will be applied up to a ‘fixed’ user-
selected End Time. See Setting a Fixed End Time below.
Post Pass Processing Next Change, Level Match, and End transitions do not have to be per-
formed in real-time. The active Write To: function will take place even after
timecode playback has stopped at the end of Record Pass. This saves time by
eliminating the need to perform complete real-time passes when a control’s
value can be written to a known location. This also means it is possible to
overwrite mix data in locations that have not been heard. Care is suggested
while using Write To: functions.
Important Note Write To: Next Change, Level Match, and End are destructive functions
in the regard that they will overwrite existing mix data until transitioning at
their respective Write To: locations. Even though previous Mix Passes are
retained, for efficient operation care should be taken when using these func-
tions.
Setting a Fixed End Time Fixed End Times are set using the Write To End Time pull-down menu in
the AutoTouchPlus window of the GC. The pull-down menu will allow the
selection of an End Time definition (End of Mix, End of Time, or Fixed…).
The End of Mix time is predetermined by the End Time of the Active Mix
Pass and cannot be altered via this field. End of Time is always the last pos-
sible timecode location (i.e. 23:59:59.2X) and cannot be altered. When Fixed
End Time is selected a T.C. (timecode) entry box appears.
The desired Fixed End Time may be entered via this box by typing in a time-
code location or using the click-and-scroll method (timecode locations cannot
be pasted into this field) and clicking OK. When Fixed End Time is selected,
the entered timecode location will be shown in the display field directly below
the End Time pull-down menu. Changes or direct entries are not allowed us-
ing this field. To edit the Fixed End Time, Fixed must be selected from the
pull-down menu.
Right-clicking in the Enter T.C. field will open the Entry Field Right-click
menu. This menu contains several items that assist the user in quickly entering
