” on page 106 (in this chapter) for

Display Area

This section primarily serves to inform you of the playhead and locator positions, but
can also be used to navigate through the project.

 Positions (SMPTE/Bar): Indicates the current position of the playhead. The top row

shows the position in SMPTE format (hours : minutes : seconds : frames), the bottom
row in bars, beats, divisions, and ticks.

 Locators (Left/Right): The top row indicates the left locator position, the bottom row

the right locator position. Locators are used to define a particular section of the
project for a number of recording or playback tasks.
