The SONG screen Setting page will appear.

2 To change the counter display format move the cursor to the ABS, RELATIVE, SECOND, or TIME CODE button and press the [ENTER] key.

In the Setting page, use the following buttons to select the display format for the counter that is shown in the center of the top line in the display.

• ABS (absolute time)

hours/minutes/seconds/millisec- onds, with the relative time zero location as 0.

•SECOND........... Displays the current location in hours/minutes/seconds/millisec- onds, with the Start point as 0.

•TIME CODE ...... Displays the current location in time code (hours/minutes/sec- onds/frames), with the Start point as 0.

NOTE

•The counter in the upper right of the display always shows the current location in measure/beat units, relative to the Start point.

•The measure/beat display will depend on the settings in the Tempo page of the EDIT screen. For details, refer to “Creating a tempo map” (→ p. 175).

3 To change the time code frame rate move the cursor to the 24, 25, 30, or 30D button and press the [ENTER] key.

You can choose one of the following frame rates to specify the minimum unit of time code.

•24 ..........24 frames/second

•25 ..........25 frames/second

•30 ..........30 frames/second (30 non-drop frame)

•30D........29.97 frames/second (30 drop-frame)

HINT

•This setting affects both the counter time code display and the MTC that the AW2400 transmits and receives. If the AW2400 is sending or receiving MTC to or from an external device, you must set both devices to the same frame rate.

NOTE

•The frame rate cannot be changed while the AW2400 is run- ning.
