field and keep pressing the UP key, but one hour would be 30 x 60 x 60 = 10,800 key presses!

To avoid this,, the LEFT and RIGHT keys move the cursor between the “fields”; in this case, hours, minutes, seconds and frames.

Regardless of whether one value or several sub- values have been edited, the changes to the values are made immediately. The cursor keys can then be used for navigation again.

In most time-based menus, when the “frames” field is being edited, the value can be changed

from to the number of frames in 1 second (the exact number varies between settings) and

back to .

However, if the cursor is moved to an invisible “field” to the right of the frames field, increment- ing the value of the frames field above the number of frames in a second will increment the seconds field.

As an example:

1)The menu screen shows: “ 00:01:43:29” when the frame rate is 30fps.

2)Press UP.

3)The menu screen shows: “ 00:01:43:00”. However:

1)The menu screen shows “ 00:01:43:29_”.

2)Press UP.

3)The menu screen shows: “ 00:01:44:00_”.

5.1.5 Resetting a menu value

Sometimes it is necessary to reset a menu value to a default value.

To do this quickly, hold down the UP key and press the DOWN key (or hold down the DOWN key and press the UP key). If the menu value is a time value in hh:mm:ss:ff format, all the fields will be reset to zero. If there is more than one independent field in a menu screen, use the cursor to point to the value that you want to reset to zero.

5.1.6Changing menu values fast

Sometimes it is useful to be able to change a value fast (for instance, time values such as minutes and seconds). To do this, hold down the UP or DOWN key and press the ENTER key. The values will change faster as long as the ENTER key is held down.

5.1.7Blanking the screen display

There are times when you may want to blank the backlit screen display (for instance, the light may be a visual distraction, or you may want to dis- courage tampering fingers).

1)Press the ENTER key, and while holding it down, press ESCAPE.

You can also hold down the ESCAPE key and press ENTER.

2)The screen will blank, and the back light will go out.

3)To restore the screen display, press any of the

following: ENTER, ESCAPE, or any of the CURSOR keys.

The screen will be relit, and show the top menu.

NOTE

This can be used as an alternative way of returning to the top menu when you are inside the menu hierarchy
