TimeCode EntryTimeCode values in Pyramix can be changed by using Increment Decrement buttons, by using the on screennumeric keys or by direct entry from the numeric keypad. an OK button or the ENTER key finalizes the entry. InPyramix numbers are entered in time code fields from right to left, a block at a time, progressively overwritingexisting numbers.This makes the most common TimeCode changes easy, I.e frames or seconds, without having to re-enter the minutesor hours.Clicking in a register inserts a red I-beam cursor and outlines the register in green. Entries must be made in Hours :Minutes : Seconds : Frames order. So, to enter 10 Hours and 9 seconds and 15 frames, key: 1 0 0 0 0 9 1 5. BUT if youonly want to change the seconds then you only have to enter the seconds and frames E.g. to enter 9 seconds and15 frames, key: 9 1 5 followed by ENTER. However, to change 10:27:10:15 frames to 10:27:09:15 you would need tokey, 0 9 1 5 followed by ENTER. In practice most operators always enter the leading zero even when it is notrequired, to avoid errors.TimeCode RegisterArithmetic TimeCode EntryAn existing TimeCode value can have time added to or subtracted from it. I.e. a relative entry.
