TimeLine EDL Format Addendum 1.0To support Version 3.0 of the MX-2424, some additions have been made to theOpenTL specification. With the way OpenTL rules are defined, and its parserimplemented, older parsers / implementations should have no problemautomatically dicarding the unknown attributes and continuing on with a goodread. The additions described in this section only affect the project file.1) New Project Simple property attribute: Tape Mode StateTPMD Tape Mode State Integer (0 = Off, 1 = On)example: TPMD(1) -- TapeMode State requested to be on2) New Project complex value attribute: Virtual Track TableThis new attribute must optionally be placed before the TrackList(TKLS) in the project file. Track indexes used by the virtual tracksare always larger than the highest track supported by the generatingdevice. A new range of indexes is defined by the Virtual track tableto represent tracks that are editable, but not playable. Therefore,this should not affect any prior compatibility. Previuos versions ofOpenTL implementations from Tascam represented virtual tracks by usingtrack indexes greater than or equal to 8192. Those virtual tracks willremain virtual and non-editable (unless first explicitly loaded toanother slot). The table itself defines what index to start interpretingtracks as virtual and editable, and the number of supported virtualtracks (i.e. the max number of virtual tracks supported by the creatorof the OpenTL file). This defines the exact range of track indexes to betreated as virtual and editable. For OpenTL files generated from Tascamproducts, the start index for the first virtual track index will be set to64, regardless of how many tracks that a given machine actually supportsfor playback. That means for an MMR-8, indexes 8 through 63 will not beused; for an MX-2424, indexes 24 through 63 will not be used. This maychange in the future, but not in the near future (only when a product thatrecords and plays more than 64 tracks is developed). = 'VTTB' '{' + '}' = ( | | ) = 'VTSI' '(' Integer ')' = 'VNUM' '(' Integer ')' = 'VTGR' '{' '}' = *
