Run/Stop Control
Run
The RUN button initiates or restarts the time delay process.
Stop
The STOP button stops playout and clears stored program content from memory. Note that the
Time Delay value can only be changed when the machine is in the STOP mode. Press RUN to
begin a new delay cycle, and restart the Time-to-Air countdown.
Time to Air
Time to Air is a countdown value, displaying the time remaining before delayed program material
reaches the output. It is an approximate display value; it is not directly locked to the video timing.
Time Delay Setting
Delay time is entered and displayed in the DELAY TIME window in D.HH:MM:SS:FF format.
(Day.Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames) The desired time is entered from the keyboard from left-to-
right.
Delay times may also be entered as whole units of seconds, minutes, hours, or days by appending a
suffix, (s, m, d, or h) to the value entered into the text box, such as “120m” or “30s.”
Time Delay Presets
Six preset buttons provide a rapid way to set a delay time to an even number of hours from 1 to 6.
With the machine stopped, clicking on one of these buttons will immediately load that time value,
expressed in hours. An appropriate number of zeros will also be entered for MM:SS:FF. The presets
are not active while the machine is running.
