TIP
You may find you use two or three search dial modes to find your
timecode point. Use 'shuttle' mode as a quick way to navigate to the area
of interest, then change to jog mode for more precision.
Position
Position mode lets your navigate to your area of interest based on the duration of the
tape or timeline you are viewing. On a traditional tape based broadcast deck, 'position'
indicates whether you are near the start or end of a recorded tape. For a HyperDeck,
'position' indicates your location relevant to the timeline position.
The light indicators when in 'position' mode will indicate the position relative to the start
middle and end.
Position mode lights indicate your
position relative to the timeline
NOTE
When using 'position' with a tape based deck, the position indicator will
improve with time as the deck is queried by the controller.
To locate your timecode point, make sure your 'player' has a reference signal and is in 'remote'
mode. Then on the controller:
1
Press the 'player' button if it is not already illuminated
2
Press the 'shuttle' button. Once pressed, the button will illuminate.
3
Rewind your tape by turning the search dial knob to the left until you feel the clutch
engage. You are now rewinding at full speed and the tape will be spooling back to
the start.
4
Once you are nearing the timecode point, turn the dial back to the center. Once the
knob is near the center stop position you will feel a tap on the dial to let you know.
5
Press the 'jog' mode button. The jog button will now be illuminated. The dial will now
spin freely and you can turn it to find your desired timecode. The faster you turn the
dial, the faster the media will jog.
Now that you have found your timecode in point, you can use the four soft touch timecode
buttons to define your in and out timecode points. These timecode entry buttons operate the
same way as they do on traditional broadcast decks.
