Autoshot timing

In the Room panel in the Routing display there are various timing buttons.


The events should be marked into the list on the last frame of the scene. If not then adjust the frame timing value. This timing value is stored separately for 525 and 625, film and tape.


In tape to tape operation, wih normal field 1 dominant material, the events should all appear with a *. This is because the data in each event lasts until the end of field 2. Adjust the field timing number from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0 until the events are marked correctly.
This timing value is stored separately for 525 and 625, in tape only.


Generally there is an adjustment on an autoshot detector for sensitivity, but there is always a compromise over this setting. When at a responsive level, false shots can be marked during fast movement or animation.
The Min Scene Duration helps prevent these false shots. Shots that come in too close together are assumed to be false and are ignored. The default value of 10 frames should be sufficient.

For the Revolution Scene Change Detector, the sensitivity adjustment is in Room Setup, labelled "Threshold".  Lowering this value will make the autoshot more responsonsive, picking up more shots at the risk of some false hits.  Raising this value will have the opposite effect.   The default value of 40 should be suitable for most purposes.
