Clock/Timer
Clock/Timer
The clock/timer is available on the GUI control panel, with software
release 1.3 and subsequent versions, and with late-model Channel Control
hardware sub modules.
The Clock window always shows a 24-hour time display.
In most applications, the clock will be synchronized to station time through
the vertical interval time code (VITC) running in the house video reference
signal. Alternatively, the clock will use the linear time code (LTC) arriving
on the rear-panel GPIO connector. The choice of which time code to use is
made during the Maestro Board Update process.
Drop-frame time is indicated by a semi-colon between seconds and frames.
Non-drop-frame time is indicated by a colon between seconds and frames.
Segment Timer
When the Seg Timer button is on, the Timer display resets to 0 automatically
and starts counting up upon each Take executed.
The segment timer operates completely independently from the stopwatch
except that only one may be viewed at a time.
Stopwatch Functions
When the Seg Timer button is off, the Timer window shows the stopwatch
value.
The stopwatch value is loaded using the 10-key pad of the Source Assign-
ment sub panel. For example, to load a value of 1 minute, zero seconds, and
zero frames, enter 1, 0, 0, 0, 0. Then press
Send, Timer .
Start/stop : Starts and stops the stopwatch.
Reset : Sets the stopwatch to the loaded value.
Count Down : When toggled on, the stopwatch will count down. Otherwise,
the stopwatch counts up.
Auto : In this mode, the stopwatch will automatically reset to the loaded
value when a transition occurs.
