External Device Menus
External Device Time Code Selection
On the External Device Enables menu you can specify what type of time-
code the Zodiak system will use with each device. The current time code
mode is displayed in the Time Code column (
Figure 140 on page 207 ). It is
assumed the controlled external device is operating with the same time
code type as selected.
Touching the Time Code data pad for a device opens a Timecode Mode
window ( Figure 147 ).
Figure 147. Time Code Mode Selection Window
Auto — The controlled device returns the best source of timecode available.
At speeds less than 0.25 play Longitudinal Time Code (LTC) will be used
if it can be read. At these slow speeds if LTC is not found but Vertical
Interval Time Code (VITC) is available, VITC will be used. At speeds
greater than 0.25 play, VITC will be used if it can be read. At these higher
speeds if VITC is not found but LTC is available, LTC will be used. At any
speed, if neither LTC or VITC is readable, Corrected LTC will be used,
which is the last good LTC time corrected by the tape timer.
LTC — Longitudinal Time Code will be used.
VITC — Vertical Interval Time Code will be used.
Tape Time — The current zero based tape time setting of the controlled
device will be used.
Touching a time code button selects that type of time code for that device
and closes the Time Code Selection window.

The Timeline Events menu is used to specify what external control events
will be placed on a keyframe on an E-MEM timeline. This menu also dis-
plays the external control events currently in the work buffer, and reports
the status of each device. Touch
