TCR Series User's Manual Overview 2-5

Many buttons have both large and small legends. These are dual-function — the key’s function

depends on the context of the current operation. It is not necessary to use a “shift” key for the second

command.

Capture / Mark

The CAPTURE button “grabs” a time code for use on the Transport Screen. When

pressed, the value in the red Time Code Display is transferred to the Time Code Register on

the Main display.

The MARK button places a checkmark (ü) after a filename on the File List. The marks are

used to group files together for functions such as copy and erase.

Locate / Find

The LOCATE button instantly “cues” to the time code value shown in the Time Code

The FIND button allows you to quickly find files. When pressed, the name of the desired file

can be entered, and the file immediately retrieved.

Store / Page Up

The STORE button will store the time code value that currently appears in the Time Code

The PG UP (page up) button pages upward when a list is longer than the screen.

Recall / Page Down

The RECALL button allows you to recall a time code value from a Location Register, and

place it in the Time Code Register.

The PG DN (page down) button pages downward when a list is longer than the screen.

Keypad / Alpha

TheKeypad is designed for both numeric and alphanumeric entry modes, depending upon the

current operating context.

• The KEYPAD buttons (0 through 9) will select numbered menu items directly, and

enter time code values.

• The KEYPAD buttons can also become ALPHA keys (ABC through YZ/), allowing

files, drives, and directories to be given “real” names.

• The +/- key toggles the Time Code Register between positive and negative values.

• The * (star) key gives access to special Location Registers.

• The SYM button allows you to enter special symbols that do not appear on the

keypad’s ALPHA keys.

• The CLEAR button clears the Time Code Register to 00:00:00:00.

• In alphanumeric entry modes, the SPACE button enters a blank space.

The MENU button will present the menus associated with the Drive, Directory, File or

Transport Screens.
