11 - Machine Control/Location-Location memories be shown on the display when location memories are being edited, etc. Storing a location memory "on the fly" This procedure allows you to set a location memory, regardless of whether timecode is currently being received or not. If timecode is not currently being received, the value of the location memory is the last received value as shown on the time counter on the display. The value on the time counter, regardless of source, is stored as the location memory. This may be timecode, MTC or an ABS time from a DTRS unit. However, only a controller which is specifically for DTRS use can locate a DTRS unit correctly, if there is an offset or other difference between timecode and the ABS time. If an ABS time is captured, other controllers will assume that this was a timecode value, and will locate the unit to this timecode position. 1 Press the MEMO key. The indicator starts to flash. 2 Press any of the numeric keys, corresponding to the ten location memories available. 3 The MEMO indicator stops flashing and the currently-displayed timecode value is stored in the location memory corresponding to the numeric key which was pressed. Manually entering and editing a location memory This procedure can be used for editing existing location memories or for adding new ones. 1 Press the EDIT key. The indicator starts to flash. 2 Press one of the number keys to select the location memory which will store the value. The EDIT indicator lights steadily. 3 Enter the timecode value using the numeric keypad. The display shows the value, "filling up" from the right digit towards the left. Or, if the EDIT key is pressed again after the location memory number has been pressed, the indicator starts to flash again, allowing the checking and editing of another location memory. 4 Press the ENTER key when the timecode value for the location memory has been entered. 5 Press EDIT again once to edit another location memory, or press EDIT twice to exit the location memory editing mode. If the CLR key is pressed before the ENTER key, a location memory entry which has been made in error is cleared. Pressing ENTER stores the cleared memory. NOTE All blank location memories are assumed to be timecode memories. Editing one, and attempting to locate using ABS with a DTRS controller will almost certainly result in an unwanted result. It is suggested that an ABS time is captured first and then edited. It is possible to switch between the capture, edit and location procedures at any time. Location to a location memory When the location memories have been entered, they are recalled in the following way: 1 Press the DIRECT key. The indicator lights. 2 Press any one of the numeric keys, corresponding to the ten location memories. 3 The controlled device locates to the memory stored in the location memory. What happens next depends on the PLAY MODE setting (see "Play Mode" on page 85). NOTE If a pre-roll time has been set ("Locate Preroll" on page 85), the controlled device will locate to the location memory point, minus the value set as the preroll time. 86 TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual
