point to the current time.
[STOP TC] button: Set the stop point of the keyframe
point to the current time.

To test an action command output
In the upper list of the status area, select the device, and
press [Test Fire].
The action command is output from the 9-pin serial port of
the SIU.
To clear the start point, stop point, and variable
speed settings
In the upper list of the status area, select the device, and
press [Clear] in the <Start TC> group, <Stop TC> group,
or <Variable Speed> group.
To set the action for a rewind operation
On the VTR/disk recorder/Extended VTR timeline, when
the [REWIND] button in the utility/shotbox control block
is pressed the action set for the first keyframe is not
executed; when the [RUN] button is pressed, then the first
keyframe action is executed.
To execute an action when the [REWIND] button is
pressed, it is necessary to set this action (Rewind Action).
To set the Rewind Action, press [Rewind Action] in the
Device >DDR/VTR >Timeline menu (5332) to open the
Rewind Action menu (5332.1). Operate in the same way as
in the DDR/VTR >Timeline menu (5332), and press
[Rewind Action Set] to carry out the setting.
Alternatively, you can make settings in the Setup menu so
that when the [REWIND] button is pressed, this executes
the action set for the first keyframe, and when the [RUN]
button is pressed the first keyframe action is not executed.
In this case, the Rewind Action setting is still valid.
For details, see "Setting the first keyframe when rewind is
executed" (page 427).
Disk Recorder/Extended VTR File
Operations
Material held on a disk recorder/Extended VTR is
managed in units of files. You can recall a file to play it
back. In the case of an Extended VTR, the register number
is recalled.
Recalling a file
Before playback and similar operations on a disk recorder/
Extended VTR, it is first necessary to display the list of
files stored on the disk recorder/Extended VTR.
In the recalled file list, select the file you want to play back,
and open the file.
In the case of a disk recorder, the recalled file name is
displayed in the device control block display.
File list sharing
You can connect multiple SIU serial ports to a single disk
recorder/Extended VTR.
You can share the recalled list of files between serial ports
connected to the same disk recorder/Extended VTR.
For details, see "Sharing disk recorder/Extended VTR file
lists" (page 426).
