Changes in SMPTE External Clock Input
Event List
The Time Code Events feature is available when the [MORE], button is pressed and the
{EVENT LIST} softkey is selected to display the Event List.
Up to 3000 events can be recorded against one light show, enabling triggering of up to 2000
cues and 2000 macros. The list shows the time code when each event will be triggered,
together with an event label and optional cue and command references.
Use the level wheel to scan through the complete Event List one page at a time and the
trackball to position the > marker over a particular event.
The Event List also shows the current state of the external/ internal SMPTE clock
(EXTERNAL, OVERRIDE, NO CLOCK, INTERNAL or PAUSED) and the start and stop times
of the event playback.
Time Code Format and Synchronisation
The format of the external and internal SMPTE clock is as follows:
HH:MM:SS:FF where
HH = Hours (0-23)
MM =Minutes (0-59)
SS = Seconds (0-59)
FF = Frames per second (0-23, 0-24, 0-29 drop or 0-29 non-drop)
When the external SMPTE time code is running, the internal clock is automatically
synchronized to it.
Event List Menu
The Event List menu is displayed on the right-hand LCD and shows the range of events
selected for time editing in the Event List.
If only one event is selected in the Event List the FIRST and LAST event numbers are the
same. If no selection has been made in the Edit Times menu, FIRST and LAST are shown as
0, with the time code set at 00:00:00:00. Duplicate event times are shown with a trailing letter,
e.g., 11:22:33:44a followed by 11:22:33:44b.
