Transport Operation button
Normal – All functions are controlled by the main transport buttons.
Auto-load – The Deva REC key is disabled. The Deva is now looking for an external TC source to control
going into and out of Record mode, such as an HD camera’s recorder. When the camera goes
into Record mode, the Deva also goes into Record mode.
NOTE: While in Auto-load mode, the REC key blinks at regular intervals (~6 secs) to remind you of the choice.
IMPORTANT: Obviously, as part of the Auto-load selection, this requires the appropriate timecode cable /
wireless kit connection with the camera that will be controlling the recording.
NOTE: As part of the Auto-load selection, the Deva jams the local Reader / Generator with the incoming TC.
