Pre-Roll
MENU | Machine Setup | Preferences | Pre-Roll
The Pre-Roll function sets the amount of time that the TCR plays (or “rolls”) prior to the edit in-
point (during an Auto-Record and Auto Review cycle).

Pre-roll Interval
Adjustable from
0 to 10 seconds
With videotape editing systems, this interval is used to synchronize VTRs, but with the TCR having
no tape transport, the pre-roll time is typically used to hear a portion of audio in context, just prior to
an edit in-point — or to allow time for tape machines in the system to reach speed.
Use the following steps to set the pre-roll interval.
1. On the Setup Preferences Menu, select item 1 (PRE-ROLL). The current pre-roll interval
is highlighted.
2. Select the desired pre-roll interval. The range is from NONE (no pre-roll) to 10 seconds.
Post-Roll
MENU | Machine Setup | Preferences | Post-Roll
The Post-Roll function sets the amount of time that the TCR plays (or “rolls”) after the edit out-point
(during an Auto-Record and Auto-Review cycle).
05:00 10:00 15:00 20:00 25:00 30:00 35:00

Post-roll Interval
Adjustable from
0 to 10 seconds

interval is highlighted.

The Sort Files By function allows you to set the sort criteria that is used on the File List. Use the
following steps to set the sort criteria.

setting is highlighted.
2. Select the desired setting. Four choices are available:
