Chapter 9: Control Panel

This parameter enables you to select a frame rate (the number of frames per second) that appears on the time

counter and time fields. Options are , , (30 frames, non-drop), , (30 frame, drop).

➸

NOTE :

Match the frame rate of the DPS12 and a connected external device to synchronize the system

using MIDI timecode.

TIME OFFSET (offset of relative time)

This function allows you to set an offset for the relative time indication on the time counter.

You can set an offset from the relative time (i.e., the amount of time slipped (offset) from the absolute time). There

are three ways to set this parameter: enter an offset time value, enter the start point of relative time, or capture the

current time on the fly and use it as the start point of relative time. The parameters have the following functions.

1 (absolute time)

This display only field indicates the current position of the DPS12 in absolute time.

2 (offset time)

This time field allows you to set an offset time from the absolute time. This field is interlocked with the

field 3. If you move the cursor to this field and use the [JOG] dial or the [NUMBER/NAME] key to change the

value, the value of the field will change.

3 (Relative time)

This display indicates the current position of the DPS12 in relative time. A relative time value is obtained by

subtracting an offset value from the absolute time (ABS). Move the cursor to this field, and use the [JOG] dial

or the [NUMBER/NAME] key to change the value. Along with the change, the value will change

accordingly.

4 [F6] key (resetting the current time to zero)

You can reset the absolute time based on the current time as the zero point. Press this key, and the field

will be reset to and the value will be automatically set. You can perform this

operation on the fly.
