9 - Machine Control—Location memories9–69.3.2 Storing a location memory “on thefly”This procedure allows you to set a location memory,regardless of whether timecode is currently beingreceived or not. If timecode is not currently beingreceived, the value of the location memory will bethe last received value as shown on the time counter.The value on the time counter, regardless of source,will be stored as the location memory. This may betimecode, MTC or an ABS time from a DTRS unit.However, only a controller which is specifically forDTRS use can locate a DTRS unit correctly, if thereis an offset or other difference between timecode andthe ABS time. If an ABS time is captured, other con-trollers will assume that this was a timecode value,and will locate the unit to this timecode position.1 Press the MEMO key [41]. The indicator willstart to flash.2 Press any of the numeric keys, correspondingto the ten location memories available.3 The MEMO indicator will stop flashing andthe currently-displayed timecode value willbe stored in the location memory.9.3.3 Manually entering and editing alocation memoryThis procedure can be used for editing existing loca-tion memories or for adding new ones.1 Press the EDIT key. The indicator will start toflash.2 Press one of the number keys to select thelocation memory which will store the value.3 Enter the timecode value using the numerickeypad. The display will show the value, “fill-ing up” from the right digit towards the left.4 As an alternative to step 3 above, if the EDITkey is pressed again after the location mem-ory number has been pressed, the indicatorwill start to flash again, allowing the check-ing and editing of another location memory.5 Press the ENT key [42] or the ENTER keywhen the timecode value for the locationmemory has been entered.6 Press EDIT again once to edit another loca-tion memory, or press EDIT twice to exit thelocation memory editing mode.If the CLR key is pressed before the ENT key,a location memory entry which has beenmade in error will be cleared. Pressing ENTor ENTER will store the cleared memory.NOTEAll blank location memories are assumed tobe timecode memories. Editing one, andattempting to locate using ABS with a DTRScontroller will almost certainly result in anunwanted result. It is suggested that an ABStime is captured first and then edited.It is possible to switch between the capture, edit andlocation procedures at any time.9.3.4 Location to a location memoryWhen the location memories have been entered, theyare recalled in the following way:1 Press the DIRECT LOCATE key. The indicatorwill light.2 Press any one of the numeric keys, corre-sponding to the ten location memories.3 The controlled device will locate to the mem-ory stored in the location memory.What happens next depends on the PLAYMODE setting (see 9.2.2, “Play Mode”).NOTEIf a pre-roll time has been set (9.2.4, “LocatePreroll”), the controlled device will locate tothe location memory point, minus the valueset as the preroll time.9.3.5 Viewing a list of location memoriesTo view a popup list of all the location memorieswhich have been stored:1 Press and hold down the SHIFT key.
