Setting Deck Preferences
Table 4-2 describes the Deck Preferences options.
Table 4-2 Deck Preferences Options
Option Description
When the deck contains no
tape, Log As
You select the timecode format (Drop Frame or Non-drop Frame) for
logging clips when no tape is in the deck. When a tape is in the deck, the
system automatically uses the existing timecode format on the tape. See
“Understanding Drop-Frame Timecode and Non-Drop-Frame Timecode”
on page 94).
Stop key pauses deck This option defines the function of the Stop key (space bar) on the
keyboard. Select this option to map the space bar to the Pause button on the
deck. Deselect this option to map the space bar to the Stop button.
If the videotape heads are down in “Stop key pauses deck” mode, pressing
the space bar brings up the heads and pauses the deck.
The Stop button in the Digitize tool and Deck Controller tool always stops
the decks. (Choose New Deck Controller from the Tools menu to access the
Deck Controller tool.)
Shuttle holds speed The Shuttle button continues shuttling at a constant speed instead of
stopping when you release it.
Stop any paused decks
when quitting
Any paused decks are stopped when you quit the Avid application.
Selecting this option saves wear on the deck heads.
