Guide to Protocol Recorder: Protocol Only mode
The Protocol control only mode allows you to only monitor the record channel
operations and view clip information. All control comes from the external device. The
buttons, menu items, and other interface controls are disabled. You can select this
mode by choosing the
Protocol control only option in the Options dialog box. ( See
“Selecting the control port and control mode” on page 282 .)
The following describes the controls and indicators in the Protocol control only mode.
Control Description and User Operation
! Assignable Buttons The assignable button allows you to modify the button assignment to
best suit your workflow. Holding down a button longer than one
second opens the button pop-up menu which lists the alternative
button choices. Button choices include Options
or Properties. The
buttons function the same as the context menu items. See “Protocol
control only Context Menu” later in this table.

The timecode value of XX:XX:XX:XX is displayed if there is no input
timecode.

timecode source: VITC, LTC, or INT (internal generator). You must
temporarily switch to Local and Protocol control mode to change
the record channel timecode source.
