Introduction

Keypad Delegation

Each E-MEM and Master E-MEM has a keypad that can recall effects with
a single numeric button press (see Keypad Numeric Entry Buttons

on page 129

and Master E-MEM Keypad

on page 135

). These keypads are also used to

enter numeric values. Pressing a numeric prefix button delegates the
keypad to numeric entry for that function.

The numeric prefix buttons and controlled numeric functions are listed in

Table 3

.

Time Value Entry

Time values are input on the Zodiak 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:

(frames)

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.
