Chase offset trimming

While the unit is chasing and locking to the master, you can trim the chase offset in realtime.

<Note>: You can trim the chase offset only when the unit is chasing an external machine and locking to the master. In other conditions, you cannot execute the following opera- tion.

1)Use the [MENU] dial to select "Trim" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

Initially, the subframe value flashes and you can now trim the offset value.

2)Use the [MENU] dial to trim the offset value and press the [ENTER/YES] key to confirm your setting.

You can set a value between "-59s **f 99sf" and "+59s **f 99sf" ("**" is one smaller than the frame rate number).

<Notes>

•After trimming the value, do not forget to press the [ENTER/YES] key. If you do not press the [ENTER/YES] key and exit the MENU mode, the trimming operation is ignored and the value returns to the previous one.

•The trimming is reflected to the offset value shown on the screen.

Catch offset

Using the "Catch Offset" function, you can capture the current offset value between the in- coming master time code and the playback time code, and set it to the chase offset value. This function is available both during playback and while stopped.

1)Use the [MENU] dial to select "Catch Offset?" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The current offset value when pressing the [ENTER/YES] key is set to the chase offset value.

2)Press the [STOP/HOME] key to exit the MENU mode.
