Timecode Options
Timecode Options
Used to set timecode type, timecode display options, local zero times and to create timecode presets (for later
recall).
When selected the Timecode Options dialogue box will be displayed.
Timecode Type
Used to set the frame rate for incoming Timecode.
To set the Timecode type click on the radio button for the required timecode type in the Timecode Format
box.
The choices are 24, 25, and 30 (drop or nondrop) frames per second.
Encore does not automatically determine the incoming code type.
It is advisable to verify the code type before mixing.
If incoming Timecode differs from the selected type then a message will appear to inform the user.
Offset Colour
If there is an offset applied to the mix, then this option sets the two colours for when timecode is running (usually
green) and stopped (usually red).
Click on either of the two buttons to set the colours, and the system will bring up the standard Windows
Colour Selection box. Select the desired colour and click OK.
These colours will apply to all automation under the current user.
Local Zero
Used to display the running time of a Mix instead of the Timecode in use.
When Local Zero is activated running code will be offset so that the chosen point is displayed as 00:00:00:00 in
all Timecode fields.
To set Local Zero enter the desired timecode in the Local Zero box either manually or by clicking on Select
From List and making a selection from the Select A Label dialogue box.
Click on Local Zero ON. Local Zero is saved and automatically reloaded with the Mix.
To zero the displayed timecode place the cursor within the displayed timecode area and press the Z key on
the keyboard. The displayed timecode will be zeroed.
