External Machine TC Locate History/Markers

[andrewwierzan]

Feature request for Transport window to have the ability to 'remember' the last 3 TC locate points. Perhaps a right click on the 'Goto In' Button which pops up a menu with timecodes on.

Possibly also the ability to have a marker type for 'external machine', so a user could click on the markers list to locate the deck to pre-defined points.

Context is to locate a tape-deck to a commonly used start point (eg 09:59:30:00) in preparation for layback, rather than manually typing in TC locate points every time. Or for shortform (a 3 minute news story every 5 minutes after 10:00:00:00) external machine markers could be a part of the Pyramix template for quick access.

If more elaboration is needed, just ask

if you set PMX as master and the external machines as slave, you can use the PMX-Markers as locators. PMX fires Sony-goto's and this works perfect.

I suppose for the locate points, this could work: set up some default 'goto' markers, select the marker and then use a macro for (External Machine: Set Loop In, External Machine: Goto Loop In)

I'd be interested to see how valid the TC locate history is.
