2.5.5 Counters
Counters for the clip stores appear on the Multi-View for each channel. There are 2 different
floatable counters. Either individual Clips counters or a combination counter, as shown
below.
They display the clip counter with both a number and a moving blue bar. They can be set to
either count up and show elapsed time (runtime), or they can be set to count down, to show
the remaining time in a clip.
Counters will move at one-second intervals, and with 10 seconds left in the clip the bar will
turn red and the counter will move at one-frame intervals.
Clip counters also provide Tally information. Red letters: On Program, Orange letters: On
Preview, White letters: Selected in the device store.

1.
Right-click
on the any counter window.
2.
In the pop-up menu, select

same setting.)
