Introduction to the Transport Screen
The Transport Screen allows you to play, record, chase, and edit all aspects of a file, including its
in-point, out-point and a variety of other location registers. The display and associated sub-menus are
specific to the file that is open.
Opening a File
A file must be opened to use the transport for anything more than playback at 1X speed. To open a
file, select it from the File List and press ENTER. The Transport Screen will be displayed, and all
transport buttons and indicators will become functional.

Transport Screen
The large Time Code Register at the top of the screen shows the present location in the file. This
register serves as a placeholder for time code values being transferred to and from storage, or used as
“marks” within the file for time codes to cue to. It can also hold offsets and slip values.
The register displays time in HH:MM:SS:FF.sf format:
• HH = Hours (0 to 23)
• MM = Minutes (0 to 59)
• SS = Seconds (0 to 59)
• FF = Frame (0 to 29 in NTSC, 0 to 24 in PAL)
• sf = Sub-frames (0 to 79)
To the left of the Time Code Register, several large labels may appear, depending upon the TCR
operating mode:
• The label “LOC” indicates that you are working with time code locations.
• The label “OFST” indicates that you are in the Offset Register mode, which is used to enter,
store, and recall time offset values.
• The label “SLIP” indicates that you are in the Slip Value mode, which allows you to set,
change, enable and disable individual track slip values.
