The Deck settings Status area lets you see the status of the deck and view the timecode.
At the top of the Status area is the Deck timecode display. This indicates the timecode given from the deck and cannot be altered.
A row of status indicators provides feedback concerning the status of your VTR. Each status indicator is described in the following table:
| Indicator | Description |
|---|---|
| Remote | Indicates that your VTR is in Remote mode. When your VTR is in Remote mode, MotionBuilder controls the VTR. If the Remote indicator is red, it indicates that the VTR is in local mode. |
| Servo | Indicates that your VTR tape has reached the exact speed (frames per second) and the reading head is locked in. |
| Trouble | Indicates that your VTR is malfunctioning. The malfunction is VTR model dependent; consult your VTR manual. |
| Cueing | Indicates that your VTR is currently cueing. Cueing occurs during the time in which your tape is catching up to the time indicated by a changed timecode in MotionBuilder. |
| Cued | Indicates that your VTR is cued. This occurs when the video reaches the timecode specified in MotionBuilder and is awaiting a new command. |
