Time Value Entry
Time values are input on the Kalypso Main Control Panel E-MEM and
Master E-MEM subpanels in seconds, frames, odd field format, using the
Undo/• button the separator (indicated below as “ • ” ) and the Enter button to
complete the entry:
(seconds) , • , (frames) , • , (field) , Enter
The default time entry is in frames. For example, a time of 15 frames (one
half second on 60 hz systems) can be input simply by pressing:
15 , Enter
Entries in seconds can be entered by adding one separator. For example, a
time of 1 second is input by pressing:
1 , • , Enter
An odd field is input by pressing 1 as the last entry. For example, a time of
one second 15 frames and one field is input by pressing:
1 , • , 15 , • , 1 , Enter
After an odd field has been entered, it is represented with an “f” in the
E-MEM readout. For example, the completed time above appears as
1:15f
. It is possible to enter values other than 1 as an odd field. The system
will calculate and display the correct number frames and a single odd field.
To enter only fields, use two separators before the number. For example, a
time of 30 fields (one half second on 60 hz systems) is entered by typing:
• , • , 30 , Enter
You can actually enter any combination of seconds, frames and fields. The
Kalypso system will do the conversion and display the result in seconds,
frame, field format.
Decimal values for other non-time parameters are also input on the Master
E-MEM subpanel with the numeric keys, the
Undo/• button for the decimal,
and the Enter button to complete the entry. If a default value exists for an
entry, it can be input without typing in a value by pressing:
• , Enter
The Kalypso Menu Panel also provides a touch activated keypad for
entering values directly into menus, using similar procedures.
