Automatically Starting the TimeDelay Process

When you select an external VITC or LTC signal as TimeDelay’s timecode
source, you can start the TimeDelay process automatically when a specific
timecode value is reached. This feature allows you to synchronize multiple
Profiles that are using the same external timecode source.

To automatically begin recording at a set timecode:

1. Choose

Config | Timecode Source…

2. Select an external timecode source.

3. In the Record Panel, click the

Auto Start

button, or choose

Config | AutoStart

. The Auto Start… dialog box appears (see Figure 174).

4. Click the Auto Start check-box.

5. Enter the desired start time in the

Start Time

field. This time should be at

least 10 seconds ahead of the current time.

6. Click the

Close

button.

When you activate auto start, a countdown is shown on the record panel. When
the countdown gets to 00:00:00:00, recording begins.
