MediaController 2.0 Rev 2 Documentation , November 20, 1990
MediaController now detaches itself from programs from which it is called.
This means is that programs like MediaEditor and MediaProcessor can run
several copies of MediaController at one time. Execution of the calling
program continues as well.
Revision 2 supports a new user interface, with all new gadget images and
two completely new gadgets. The current MediaPhile device name is now
displayed at the top with the counter display just below it. Keyboard
equivalent commands and menus have remained the same.
Two rows of five gadgets each used for device control are located at
the bottom of the MediaController window. Two new gadgets synch the
counter to SMPTE time code read in through a MediaPhile controller,
and toggle the keyboard "qualifier" command . From top-to-bottom,
left-to-right the gadgets and their corresponding functions are:
Frame Back Backspace the tape or optical disk by one frame.
Rewind Rewind the tape or disk.
Play Put the device in play mode.
Fast Forward Fast Forward the tape or disk.
Frame Forward Advance the tape or optical disk by one frame.
FUNC This is the MediaController function gadget. The default
function is to toggle the keyboard qualifier command. It
provides the same function as pressing the LEFT-SHIFT,
LEFT-AMIGA and HELP keys together. Refer to the
MediaController manual for a complete explanation of the
keyboard qualifier function.
Stop Send a STOP command to the device.
Pause Put the device into PAUSE mode.
Record Send the RECORD command to the device.
SMPTE Synch MediaController 2.0 REV 2 has the ability to
CLOCK use SMPTE Time Code to re-synch its tape position index.
A MediaPhile Controller with the SMPTE time code option
must be connected to the SMPTE audio output of your device.
Rever to the TCGEN ReadMe file on this disk and your
MediaController hardware manual for more information.
SMPTE time code can only be read in PLAY mode so put your
device in play before selecting the SMPTE synch gadget.
When the gadget is clicked with the mouse, SMPTE Time Code
will be read from the device's audio track and used to
the MediaController tape position index. If there is
no apparent change in the counter display, either the
position index is already in synch with the time code or
no Time Code was found on the audio track.
If the tape position index window displays what apperas to
be an erroneous value, select the gadget again. The audio
time code signal coming from the device may be noisy or
incorrect time code may have been recorded on the audio track.
