Ejecting a Clip
Ejecting a clip effectively removes it from the transport. The channel will output Black. Press EJECT to eject a clip.
Using Jog
The JOG + command will move to the next frame and go to Still. The JOG– command will move to the previous frame and go to Still.
Using GO-TO
Click the arrows < or > to go to the next trim point (Mark In or Mark Out) in the selected direction. When in Edit mode, an additional click in the selected direction will go to the actual beginning or end of the entire clip.
Using Fast Forward / Rewind
F-F (Fast Forward) and REW (Rewind) buttons transport program material at high speed in the chosen direction. Four speed choices are available in each direction. Click the button repeatedly for: 4x, 16x, 64x, and 128x. Audio does not play at any speed beyond +/- 2X.
Slow Motion Playback
The MAXX-2400HD will play smooth slow-motion video in forward or reverse, at any speed from zero to 2X. Direction can be instantly changed, using either the GUI or a desk-top controller. Audio is also played at these lower speeds. At speeds beyond 2X, video frames will selected as needed, yielding a chunky result; audio is muted at high speeds. Most slo-mo playback for sports and other uses lies well within the 2X zone.
To play in slow motion from the GUI, press PLAY and then move the shuttle slider to the desired speed—within a range of 2X range forward or reverse. See the following section for details on the Shuttle control. For faster playback from the GUI, use the FAST FORWARD or REWIND buttons as described in the preceding section.
In sports, slow-motion control is usually accomplished with a desk-top slow-mo controller, such as those made by DNF Controls and others. These provide a hands-on experience far preferable to using the GUI.
Using Shuttle to Control Playback Speed
The Shuttle Control is a slider bar that controls playback speed. Playback speed control employs varispeed algorithms that may skip frames. It is not a perfect fast motion mechanism.
The center position represents zero speed, or Still.
The right and left extents of the slider represent ±2x maximums.
The Shuttle control slider works in three basic ways: Snap-Back to still, Hold Speed, and Mouse Wheel.
•In Snap-Back operation, click and drag the slide control to change speed. Releasing the slider bar will let it snap back to zero speed, or still.
