Use this heavy duty rotary encoder can be set to perform several different functions, first being its default, jogging through the frames of the currently active clip. Second is to provide a tactical control of Crop and/or Scale functions.
For the clip to respond to jog commands the console’s function menu must be at ‘’Root’, or be in ‘Status’ mode. Also, the clip must already be paused.
For each increment, clockwise the clip will advance one frame. Rotating counter clockwise steps it back one frame. If being used to adjust crop panels, then one increment equals one percentage point, position and/or size each will equal one pixel.
NOTE: Since the affected change, nonmatter which function it is performing, is very small, you should reserve using this only when accurate positioning is required. For best response, use slower movements when rotating the control.
Pressing either of the two small buttons flanking both sides of the jog wheel, will step the clip’s position by 1 second. Left for rewind, right for forward.
Click to select for standby, either the clip before or after the currently selected standby clip. If there isn’t one selected it will go from the one in the gate. If none are selected it will begin at clip number one.
‘End’
will stop play and will automatically blank the video output and return the clip back to its starting position.
‘Pause’
is a toggle. When paused the ‘Start’ button will be disabled you must click the ‘Pause’ again to resume play.
‘Start’
will always begin play at the clips punch in point. If the clip’s current position as been manually moved it will automatically be in a paused condition, so if wanting to start from the manually adjusted point, you will need to click the ‘Pause’ button instead.
