REC CHANNEL This parameter determines which
channel strip on the SX-1 will act as the first channel
for remote track arming. The above example has
Channel 17 set for this value.
FRAME RATE This knob sets the project frame
rate. Rates of 30, 29.97, 29.97 Drop, 25, and 24
frames per second (fps) are available. To change the
current frame rate, you must select
Accept
or
Cancel
from the tab that appears at the right of the screen.
SMPTE/TIMECODE OFFSET This parameter
determines the amount of offset from incoming and
outgoing timecode. Values can be entered by using
the keypad.
Turning the knob accomplishes two things: the knob
now acts as a cursor for the offset register (moving
the cursor from hours to minutes to seconds, for
instance), and it opens a dialog strip on the right side
of the LCD screen:
TOGGLE SIGN When this key is
pressed, the offset value changes from a
positive offset (
+
) to a negative offset (
-
),
meaning that an offset of
+00:00:02:00
would play back two seconds later than
the device generating the timecode, and
that an offset of
–00:00:02:00
would play
back two seconds earlier.
CURSOR <--- Moves the cursor to the
left by one value.
CURSOR ---> Moves the cursor to the
right by one value.
SMPTE FORMAT This key toggles the offset dis-
play to show one of the four timecode choices avail-
able in the SX-1.
