There are four methods for entering numeric data into an input field (exam-
ples of such data fields in Project Presets are the TC preset, Total length,
Over Scan Size, Audio Reference Level, Track(default), Duration, etc. The
four entry methods are:
• Direct Input
• Offset Input
• Arrow Key Input
• Mouse Wheel Input
Some input fields are time codes or duration which may be comprised of
multiple number segments. The format of these fields is HH:MM:SS;FF
(H=hour, M=Minutes, S=Seconds and F=Frames). Other numeric input
field are single-segment numbers such as the number of video and audio
tracks. Except where noted below, these numeric input methods apply to
all numeric fields.

board. To enter a numeric value with the direct input method do the fol-
lowing:

Note When entering a number such as 1 hour and 15 minutes with no seconds and
