Encore Two User Manual Issue 1Hold Off Time(frames)Wait for this number of frames after fine slewing into lock has achieved azero error before releasing.Normally, when zero error has been achieved the machine is releasedfrom servo in order to lock to the video frame edge.However, depending upon the transport ballistics, some machines mayhave moved through zero error and be moving away from zero error atthis point.If released in this situation the machine may repeatedly report lock &locking.Increasing the hold off time causes the MCS to wait after zero error hasbeen achieved before releasing the machine.Start-up Time(frames)Play command is issued when the timeline is this many frames behind themachine position.When machine synchronisation is begun after the PLAY key has beenpressed, the system will pre-roll by 16 frames and then run the timelinethrough the machine position.If the machine error is observed to count down slowly from 16 frames tozero, adjusting this parameter by 2 frames may correct this.If the machine can be seen to have several frames to servo after receivingits play command, adjusting this parameter may correct this.Park Time(frames)Machine parks ahead when chasing to a moving timeline by this manyframes.Servo Type• 0 means servo up from 1 frame behind.• 1 means servo directly into lock.• 2 means come back from 1 frame in front.This parameter determines the way the machine servos into lock.The most common method is to servo up from 1 frame behind.However, this is not suitable for some machines, which will be unable tolock by this method. If the machine hovers between zero error and 1frame error, try an alternate servo type.NB: The servo software can make automatic changes to this value.Slew Limit(frames)Maximum number of frames of error which will be made up by servoingrather than shuttling.- 92 -
