Parts of Functions and Names 2 Chapter

iSHIFT button

Switches between functions for any button with two functions.

jPAGE/HOME button

When pressed alone functions as the PAGE switching button. When pressed together with the SHIFT button, functions as the HOME button.

PAGE button: Displays the function menu, if it is not already visible. (The most recently displayed page of the function menu appears.)

HOME button: When pressed with the function menu visible, returns to the HOME page of the function menu.

kEXPAND button

When pressed during thumbnail display, divides the selected clip into 12 blocks and displays a list of thumbnails of the first frame in each block (expand function). The division is repeated with each press (up to 3 times, for a total of 1,728 blocks).

When this button is pressed together with the SHIFT button, the unit returns to the previous division level. Press the RESET/RETURN button to return to the thumbnail screen.

This button also becomes a function button (F6) when the function menu is visible.

See page 59 for more information about the expand function.

lCHAPTER button

When pressed during thumbnail display, displays a list of thumbnails of the frames where essence marks are recorded (chapter function). When this is pressed again, returns to normal thumbnail display. The chapter function can be useful when essence mark thumbnails provide more information about the content of the clip than the index pictures of the first frames. This can also be used to cue up long clips.

This button also becomes a function button (F5) when the function menu is visible.

See page 60 for more information about the chapter function.
