These keys are located in the central portion of the front panel, directly under the LCD. In addition to the numeric keys 0-9 (which are mainly used to enter and otherwise manipulate time code), keys performing various other operations are also located here:

∙(CLR) the clear time code key

∙(CAPT) time code capture key

∙SHIFT key

∙(STO) store key

∙(RCL) recall key

∙(LOOP) looping key

∙(LOC) locate transport key

NUMERIC KEYS

(0-9)In the Normal state, these keys are used to enter a time code value into the hold register (the bottom line of the LCD). The numeric keys are also used to access ten time code memory registers and in combination with the SHIFT, RCL, STO, LOOP and LOC keys to store or recall time code to and from the various special time code registers. In the Setup state, these keys directly select menu banks, and are used to enter passwords, date, time, and other numeric entry. The Error and Track states may also use these keys to enter a password or other numeric value.

Time code values are entered into the entry register, beginning with the right-hand digit which moves left as additional digits are entered. Use CLR to reset the entry register to zero {00:00:00,00}. As an example of the entry register’s use; to enter a time code of 00:34:00,15 (thirty-four minutes and 15 frames); press CLR one or two times (to set the entry register to zero), then the 3 (three) key,

4 (four) key, 0 (zero) key, 0 (zero) key, 1 (one) key, and 5 (five) key. The time code is displayed as the numbers are keyed into the hold register.

To store the entry register time code into one of the ten memory registers, press STO followed by one of the numeric keys. This stores the entry register time code into the selected memory register (0 - 9). The stored time code can later be recalled by pressing RCL then the appropriate numeric key.

The entry register time can also be stored to the special-purpose registers that are not display-only (Lynx Sync, Offset, Time, Out, In), replacing the previous register contents. In this case the shift key is added to the store command key sequence (STO then SHIFT+ the appropriate numeric key).

 

SHIFT+

The shifted function for each numeric key recalls the special-purpose register

 

NUMERIC KEY

contents listed above each numeric key, and for certain registers (the registers

 

 

 

associated with keys 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9) performs an immediate transport locate to

 

 

the register time code value. If STO is pressed before SHIFT+ one of the numeric

 

 

keys is pressed, then the active register contents (bottom line of the display) are

 

 

 

stored in the target register location (providing, of course, that the target register is

 

 

a writeable and not a read-only register).

 

LYNX SYNC

This register holds the MMR-8 sync point time which is used in conjunction with

(SHIFT+0)

the master sync point on the Lynx bus to calculate the MMR-8 offset. Storing a

 

 

 

value to this register automatically calculates this offset.
