Utility parameter list

MTC Type

Valid Settings: 30, 29N, 29D, 25, 24 (Initial value: 30)

This sets the type of MTC output from the MIDI OUT connector.

30:130 frames per second non-drop format. This is used by audio devices such as analog tape recorders, and for NTSC format black and white video (used in Japan and the U.S.).

29N: 29.97 frames per second non-drop format. This is used for NTSC format color video (used in Japan and the U.S.).

29D: 29.97 frames per second drop format. This is used for NTSC format broadcast color video (used in Japan and the U.S.).

25:25 frame per second frame rate. This is used for SECAM or PAL format video, audio equipment, and film (used in Europe and elsewhere).

24:24 frame per second frame rate. This is used for video, audio devices, and film in the US.

Offset

Valid Settings: 00:00:00-00.0–23:59:59-29.9

(Initial value: 00:00:00-00.0)

Sets the time required to align the song playback and MTC timing when synchronizing an external device using MTC from the BR-864.

The offset is set as the difference between the “time to which to align the MTC timing” and the “time to which to align the song timing.” For example, you want to have the external device play back with the MTC timing shown below when the song timing reaches “01h00m00s00,” then set the offset as follows.

Song Timing	MTC for	Offset Setting
	External Device
01h00m00s00	01h30m00s00	00h30m00s00
01h00m00s00	00h30m00s00	23h30m00s00

The Offset is stored to each song individually.

About the Scrub parameters

This section describes the Scrub parameters.

1.Press [UTILITY].

2.Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to “SCR,” and press [ENTER].

3.Using CURSOR [ ] [ ], select the Scrub parameter, then make the setting with the TIME/VALUE dial.

Scrub Mode From/To

Valid Settings: FROM, TO (Initial value: FROM)

This sets the “Scrub function” mode.

“Scrub” is a function for repeatedly playing back material of an extremely short duration (approximately 45 msec).

You can get scrub playback by holding down [STOP] and pressing [PLAY].

FROM: Provides about 45 milliseconds of scrub playback starting from the current location.

TO: Provides about 45 milliseconds of scrub playback ending up at the current location.

Preview Switch (Preview SW)

Valid Settings: ON, OFF (Initial value: OFF)

This setting turns the “Preview function” on and off. When the Preview switch is set to ON, pressing [REW] during scrub playback provides one second of playback time starting from the current location, while pressing [FF] provides one second of playback time ending up at the current location.
