INTRODUCTION

NUMERIC KEYPAD

The NUMERIC KEYPAD has two main functions. It is used to store and recall up to 10 edits in

what we call the EDIT CLIPBOARD (see the section on editing that describes this). It is also used

for timecode and numeric entry.

EDITING NUMERIC FIELDS

To edit number fields, you can just type the number directly followed by ENT on the numeric

keypad or the main EXECUTE key. You may also use the DATA ENTRY +/- keys to increment/

decrement through the values.

If you make a mistake, press EXIT - this will restore the parameter’s previous value.

EDITING NAMES THAT INCLUDE NUMBERS

In names that have a number as part of the name (i.e. PROJECT 5), this can be renamed very

quickly simply by pressing any other number on the numeric keypad. For example, pressing 9

would immediately change this name to PROJECT 9. This can be useful when saving a project

with a different name (SAVE AS). It is also useful for quickly renaming libraries or clips.

ENTERING TIMECODE VALUES

Timecode is entered using the NUMERIC KEYPAD. Values enter from the right and time divisions

(i.e. hours, minutes, seconds and frames) are confirmed using the keypad’s 00 ‘double zero’ key.

For example, to enter a value of 1 hour, 23 minutes, 12 seconds, 12 frames, type the following:

1, 00, 23, 00, 12, 00, 12, 00, ENT

You will see the following display in the selected timecode field as you enter the numbers:

ENT

The important thing to remember is to ‘confirm’ the time division using the numeric keypad’s 00

‘double zero’ key.

If you make a mistake when entering a timecode value, press EXIT. This will restore the field’s

previous timecode entry and you may try again.

It is also possible to ‘nudge’ timecode entries. You can move the cursor ‘within’ the timecode field

by pressing SHIFT+DATA ENTRY +/-. As an example, in EDIT CUE, you may wish to nudge a fade

up time from 2 seconds to 3 seconds. Rather than type in 3, 00, EXECUTE, move the cursor to the

seconds field using SHIFT+DATA ENTRY +/- as appropriate and use the DATA ENTRY + key to

increment by one. For example:

The digit is highlighted with an ‘underbar’. Now press SHIFT + DATA ENTRY ‘-’ to move the cursor

left and press the DATA ENTRY + key:

In this way, instead of having to type out long strings of timecode numbers, you can nudge a

timecode field to a value quite easily.
