Resetting loop time
A time code program loop plays from the first event time to the last event
time, then resets and plays again. Any events with code times before the
first time or after the last time are ignored. The resettable loop time can
run from five seconds to 24 hours. 12
If you are running a time code program from an external clock, the external
clock will control the loop time with its own first event time and last event
time settings. To provide synchronized internal clock backup, you must
set the first event time and last event time in the Time Code Events
display to correspond exactly with those times set for the external clock.
Otherwise events might be missed until the two clocks synchronize. It
takes at least 5 seconds for external and internal clocks to synchronize.
Use this procedure to set loop times either when running on the internal
clock alone or when running from an external clock with internal clock
backup.
Keystrokes:
1. Press [S7] until [S8] reads
Reset Loop.
Actions:
2. Press [S8], Reset Loop. Prompt reads:
Enter first valid frame of internal
time, then press ENTER. (Press
TIME to edit specific fields)
3. Press [1][0][0][0]. Sets ten seconds as the starting time
for the time code program
4. Press [Enter]. Prompt reads:
Enter last valid frame of internal
time, then press ENTER. (Press
TIME to edit specific fields)
5. Press [5][0][0][0][0] then
press [Enter].
Sets the time code program to reset at
the five minute mark
12.
If the loop is set to less than five seconds, the internal clock resets it
to five seconds from the loop’s starting time.
