DEVICE ENABLE (A,B,C,D) - four device enable keys corresponding to the four
control ports on the TDC-100. Any lighted key is enabled, and will be sent all
transport commands and PBUS commands. If more than one is enabled, the
one that is flashing is the currently-displayed one. The currently-displayed
device is also tallied by the letter (A,B,C,D) in the upper left corner of the display.
BIG KNOB - used for transport control (jog, shuttle, variable) and for scrolling
and setting menu, and for TBC adjustment of devices which support this
function.
MENU ITEMS
01
REGISTER LOCK (OFF/ON)
Prevents modification to any registers. The intention is to turn the register lock on
after all registers are loaded for a show to prevent inadvertent changes. If you try
to mark, copy, trim, etc. any registers with the lock turned on, you’ll get a ‘Registers
Locked’ error message.
02
PANEL RECALL (ONLY or w/CUEUP)
When set to ‘ONLY’, recalling a register from the control panel will only recall the
register information; it won’t cue the disks to those times. When set to ‘w/Cueup’,
the controller will recall the register and immediately cue the disks to the register
inpoints. P-bus recalls will always cue the disks, regardless of this menu setting.
This would normally be set to ‘Only’ when loading the times into the registers, and
perhaps to ‘w/Cueup’ if you’re checking the registers from the panel, or using the
TDC-100 to do manual playback.
03
OUTCUE ACTION (NONE, STOP, or RECUE)
This item tells the controller what to do when it reaches an outcue. If set to ‘None’ no
action is performed; the machines just keep playing past the outcue. If set to ‘Stop’,
the machines will stop when they reach the outcue, and if set to ‘Recue’ they will
immediately recue to the inpoint and stop.
04
CLIP STORE/RECALL (ON/OFF)
If this item is turned off, the TDC-100 cues machines based only on timecode (or
timer). The clip name isn’t relevant. If this item is turned on, the name of the
current clip is stored when you do a MARK IN, SET IN, or PBUS LEARN, and this
clip will be loaded and cued automatically when the register is recalled or cued.
Operation of the store/recall function requires that the controlled devices support
Odetics protocol. The manual clip list/load functions on the control panel operate
regardless of this menu setting.
