At even higher frame rates (e.g. 90 Hz) the timecode numbers will be
tripled, quadrupled etc., making a timecode handling of all common
frequencies possible.
Entering Timecode
When entering timecode in one of the software’s position or length in-
dicators, it is not necessary to type in the timecode separators (colons).
Simply place the cursor at the appropriate position (e.g. at the minute
numbers) and enter the timecode numbers from there. After pressing
[Enter] on your keyboard or selecting another item of the user interface
the entered timecode is accepted in the respective timecode field.
When you enter a timecode value that exceeds the raster’s frequency,
the timecode will be recalculated (e.g. 00:00:02:47 will be set to
00:00:03:23 if raster is in 24 Hz). When entering a timecode value
that exceeds the boundaries of the available timeline, it will be set to
the lowest/highest possible value.
Switching the Notation
Position and length indicators can be switched from a display of the
timecode notation to frame numbers and vice versa. For this you can
use the context menu of a timecode/frame number field (e.g. the one
of the position field in the middle of the user interface).
Figure 2-14: Context menu of a position field
Select from the context menu the respective menu option. This will
change the position and length indicators to the selected notation. It
can be individually set for player and recorder controls in each opera-
tion mode. Alternatively, you can use the TIMECODE / FRAMES
combo box to switch the notation (see section “The Controls Ex-
plained” on page 3-15).
