Basic Operation for External Device
Control
Use the Device menu to carry out operations for controlling external devices
such as devices supporting P-BUS (Peripheral II protocol) (referred to as “P-
BUS devices” in the manual), and VTRs.
For VTRs only, you can also carry out operations using the device control
block.
Accessing the Device menu
In the menu control block, press the top menu selection button [DEV].
Saving Control Setting Data in Registers
For P-BUS devices, you can save the action settings in a register.
This section describes the procedure for saving a P-BUS timeline edited in the
Device menu into a register.
For more details of the method of editing a P-BUS timeline, see “Editing the
P-BUS Timeline” (page 14).
1 In the keyframe control block, press the [EDIT ENBL] button, turning it
on.
2 In the numeric keypad control block, press the [EFF] button, turning it on.
This assigns the numeric keypad control block to keyframe operations, and
the [RCALL] button lights.
3 Press the [P-BUS] button in the numeric keypad control block, turning it
on, to select the P-BUS region.
4 Enter the number of the register to be recalled with the numeric keypad
buttons.
To search for an empty register, instead of entering a number, press the “.”
(period) button.
Thedisplayshowsthe register number.A letter“e”or“E”after thenumber
indicates the register status, as follows:

10 Press the [STORE] button in the numeric keypad control block.
This saves the P-BUS timeline settings in the register.
Amending Keyframes
You can amend a keyframe which has been saved in a register.
To amend a P-BUS timeline keyframe, use the following procedure.
1 In the keyframe control block, press the [EDIT ENBL] button, turning it
on.
2 Press the [EFF] button in the numeric keypad control block, turning it on.
This assigns the numeric keypad control block to keyframe operations, and
the [RCALL] button lights.

Carrying Out Control of External Devices
By recalling a register containing setting data for external device control, as
when automaticallyexecuting a keyframe effect, youcanautomaticallycontrol
an external device.
Use the following procedure.
1 In the numeric keypad control block, press the [EFF] button, turning it on.
The [RCALL] button in the numeric keypad control block lights.
2 Press the [P-BUS] button in the numeric keypad control block, turning it
on, to select the P-BUS region.
3 Enter the number of the register to be recalled with the numeric keypad
buttons.

This controls the external device according to the keyframe data.

13Basic Operation for External Device Control
Chapter 12 External Devices
To move to the first keyframe
To move to the first keyframe, press the [REWIND] button in the keyframe
control block.
If an action is set for a rewind operation, then the action is carried out. (See
“Setting an action for the rewind operation” (page 16).)

Editing the P-BUS Timeline
This section describes how to set an action for a keyframe point, and edit the
P-BUS timeline.
Note
Using the P-BUS timeline function requires the P-BUS control mode to be set
to [Timeline]. Carry out this setting in the Engineering Setup>Panel>Device
Interface menu.

16 Control of P-BUS Devices
Setting an action for the rewind operation
In order that when recalling a P-BUS timeline, pressing the [REWIND] button
in the keyframe control block moves to the first keyframe, an action setting
must be made for this.
In the Device>P-Bus Timeline menu, press [Rewind Action], and make the
setting in the window that appears. In this setting window, the method of
setting is the same as in the window for making an action setting on the P-BUS
timeline.
P-BUS Trigger
“P-BUS trigger” is a function whereby a button operation in the numeric
keypad control block or keyframe control block outputs an action command to
a P-BUS device.
Note
To use the P-BUS trigger function, the P-BUS control mode must be set to
[Trigger]. Make this setting in the Engineering Setup>Panel>Device Interface
menu (see page 99).
The relation between the operation in each of the control blocks and the action
command output is as follows.
Action command for an operation in the numeric keypad control
block
• RECALL: Recall
•STORE:Store
This recalls the register specified in the numeric keypad control block, and a
Recall or Store is carried out, according to the setting.
Action command for an operation in the keyframe control block
• RUN: Trigger 1
• REWIND: Trigger 4
• NEXT KF: Trigger 7
• PREV KF: Trigger 8
Outputting an action command
As an example, to output a Recall, use the following procedure.
1 In the numeric keypad control block, press the [EFF] button, turning it on.
The [RCALL] button in the numeric keypad control block lights.

17Control of P-BUS Devices
Chapter 12 External Devices
2 Press the [P-BUS] button in the numeric keypad control block, turning it
on, to select the P-BUS region.
3 Enter the number of the register to be recalled with the numeric keypad
buttons.
