Play Bar and Position Control

[Play Bar] and [Position Control] are graphics that indicate the current position of the file being played. You can quickly move the playback position forward or backward by dragging the [Position Control] or clicking in front or back of the [Position Control].

In addition, the [Index Mark] is displayed using a red triangle on the [Time Axis]. Up to 16 index marks can be used on each DSS file.

Time Axis and Time Axis Control Slider

Time Axis is displayed below the play bar with the same width as the play bar. You can change the scale of the Time Axis by moving the Time Axis Control Slider knob up and down. The type of Time Axis varies depending on the recording length. The relationship is as follows.

Recording Length

Scale Display

0 to 1 minute

Full scale

1 to 10 minutes

Full scale and 1 minute

10 to 30 minutes

Full scale, 1 minute, and 10 minutes

30 to 60 minutes

Full scale, 1 minute, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes

1 hour or longer

Full scale, 1 minute, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour

The Time Axis Control Slider automatically determines the applicable Time Axis from the recording length of the current active file and updates the slider scale. For example, for a file with a recording length of 50 minutes, four types of scales, full scale, 1 minute, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes, apply. Thus, four levels of slider scale will be displayed. If the recording length of a file is less than 1 minute, only full scale applies. Thus the Time Axis Control Slider does not operate.
