Setting a Timecode Offset 137 Setting a Timecode Offset A timecode offset relative to the external timecode source can be set using the TC Offset function. Plus values retard the D24, minus ones advance it. With an offset of +00:05:00.00.0 (+ 5 minutes), for example, an external timecode value of 01:00:00.00.0 (1 hour) will correspond to 01:05:00.00.0 (1 hour and 5 minutes) on the D24. 1 Press the [SETUP] button. The SETUP indicator lights up. 2 Use the JOG/DATA dial to select "TC OFFSET," and then press the [ENTER] button. The currently set offset, if any, appears on the display. 3 Use the JOG/DATA dial to specify an offset. An offset can also be entered using the keypad. Use the [CANCEL] button to revert to the previous value, and the [0/-] button to toggle between plus and minus values. The timecode offset can be set from -23:59:59.29.9 to +23:59:59.29.9 (23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds, 29 frames, and 9 sub-frames). The default setting is 00:00:00.00.0. To use the current time as the offset value, press the [CAPTURE] button to copy it to the 2nd line of the display. 4 Press the [ENTER] button to activate your selection, or the [CANCEL] button to cancel the TC Offset function. 5 Press the [SETUP] button again to leave setup. The SETUP indicator goes out. The following illustration shows how minus and plus offsets of one minute retard and advance a project relative to an external timecode source. The project's absolute start time is 00:00:00.00 and the timecode frame rate is 30 fps. 59:59:59.29 External timecode No offset 00:00:00.00 00:01:00.00 00:02:00.00 Project -00:01:00.00 offset +00:01:00.00 offset Project Project D24-Owner's Manual
