Trimming Time Code Values
Any time a writeable register is shown in the bottom line of the display (usually by being recalled), it can
be trimmed as required. There are two types of trimming:
static
and
dynamic
. Dynamic trim is desirable
only in certain special situations, and differs from static trim in that the register values are sent to the
transport immediately as they are changed. In static trim, register values are sent to the transport at the
point where trim mode is exited. Note that Trim mode cancels Jog or Shuttle modes, if active, since Trim,
Jog, and Shuttle are mutually exclusive.
To trim the time code in the active register, press TRIM (for static trim) or SHIFT+TRIM (for dynamic
trim). The TRIM LED will flash slowly (static trim) or flash quickly (dynamic trim) to indicate trim mode
is active. Rotate the Wheel clockwise or press the up-arrow key to increment the time code numbers, or
rotate the wheel counterclockwise or press the down-arrow key to decrement the time code numbers.
When the desired value is reached, press TRIM again to exit trim mode. This saves the value as trimmed,
while continuing to display the register last trimmed. If you don’t want to save the trimmed value, exit
trim mode by pressing CLR. This cancels Trim mode and restores the register to its pre-trimmed value.
Using the Entry Register
In the Normal state, the bottom line of the LCD typically displays the entry register. This register is used
for manual time code entry from the keypad. It can be used to update memory registers and the writeable
special-purpose registers. Once time code is displayed in the entry register, the MMP-16 can be
immediately located to that time by pressing the LOC key. The following methods may be used to enter
time code into the entry register while in the Normal state):
Direct time code
entry
Use the numeric keys to type in the time code. The keyed time code will replace
any existing time code in the display. Use this method if the time code position is
known. Pressing CLR will reset any existing time code in the register to zero,
making it easier to enter new time code numbers.
Capture the
time code
Press CAPT during play or while stopped. This copies the “play head”
time code shown in the top line, at the moment the CAPT key is pressed, to the
entry register on the bottom line.
Recall, Trim,
and Store
a Register
Recall and trim one of the ten memory registers (using RCL+0 - 9), or one of the
special-purpose registers (using RCL+SHIFT+0 - 9), and press the STO key. The
register time code value is then copied to the entry register.
The time code value in the entry register can be trimmed, as required, by using the Wheel or Up/Down
arrow keys to increment or decrement the time code before any other action is taken on the time code.
