Viewing a list of location memories
To view a popup list of all the location memories
which have been stored:
1 Press the SHIFT key so that the indicator is
lit.
2 Press the EDIT key (now the LIST key as
shown by the shifted legend).
The location memory source (timecode or
MTC, or ABS) is shown, along with the value
of each location memory.
Manual location
It is also possible to enter a location point manually,
(from a cue list, for instance) and locate straight to it.
1 Press the MANUAL key so that the indicator
lights.
2 Use the number keys to enter a number in
hh:mm:ss (and optionally frames) format.
3 When the ENTER key is pressed, the con-
trolled device starts to locate to the location
point just entered.
This location point can be stored by pressing the
MEMO key so that the indicator flashes, followed by
pressing the MANUAL key again.
To locate to this point again after storing the location
point, press the
MANUAL key, followed by the
ENTER key.
Note that the pre-roll time (“Locate Preroll” on
page 85) does not apply here.
Repeat play
Location memories 8 and 9 (accessed with the 8 and
9 keys) are used as the start and end points of a repeat
loop that can be played by pressing the REPEAT key
in the transport control section.
If point 8 follows point 9, or if the distance between
the two points is very short, the behavior of the repeat
playback depends on the device being controlled.
Auto punch operations
For DTRS units, the three AUTO PUNCH keys:
RHSL , IN/OUT and CLEAR are used in the same way
as the corresponding keys on the DTRS unit.
Consult the documentation for the DTRS unit for
details of how to perform punch operations.
When punch operations are taking place, the punch-
in and punch-out points may be viewed and edited in
location memories
4 and 5 respectively. When the
CLEAR key is pressed to finish punch operations, the
original location memories (if any) are restored.
ALL INPUT and AUTO MON
The ALL INPUT and AUTO MON keys send the
appropriate commands to all devices in the list that
have the
REC function enabled. When the function is
active, the key’s indicator lights.
If the controller does not support the function, the
indicator does not light.
If a number of controllers have had the REC function
selected, some of which do accept this command,
and some which do not, the indicator will not light in
the majority of cases.
DTRS devices can accept this command, as can
MMC devices. Some devices controlled using the P2
protocol can accept these commands, but some can-
not, depending on the manufacturer’s implementa-
tion of the protocol.
External control
These following notes apply to the external control
screens, etc. for some of the specific devices that may
be controlled by the DM-24. The list of devices which are assigned to the DM-24
for control is set up in the following way:
