If loop mode is set, the playback loop will be between:
the "start" position and the end of timeline for play forward,
the "start" position and the start of timeline for play backward.
By default the deck will continue playing until the end of the timeline. The "end" parameter may be used to
halt playback at the frame before the specified timecode:
play: end: timecode↵
If loop mode is set, the playback loop will be between:
the start of timeline and the "end" position for play forward,
the end of timeline and the "end" position for play backward.
Note that the "end" position must be:
beyond the current/or start position on timeline for play forward,
before the current/or start position on timeline for play backward.
The "duration" parameter may be used instead of the "end" parameter to halt playback after a duration
specified in timecode format:
play: duration: timecode↵
These three parameters are not compatible with the "single clip" parameter.
Stopping deck operation
The "stop" command instructs the deck to stop the current playback or capture:
stop↵
Changing timeline position
The "goto" command instructs the deck to switch to playback mode and change its position within the
timeline.
To go to the start of a specific clip:
goto: clip id: Clip ID↵
To move forward/back count clips from the current clip on the current timeline:
goto: clip id: +/-count↵
Note that if the resultant clip id goes beyond the first or last clip on timeline, it will be clamp at the first or last
clip.
To go to the start or end of the current clip:
goto: clip: "start", "end"↵
To go to the start of the first clip or the end of the last clip:
goto: timeline: "start", "end"↵
To go to a specified timecode:
goto: timecode: timecode↵
To move forward or back a specified duration in timecode:
goto: timecode: "+", "-"duration in timecode↵
Note that only one parameter/value pair is allowed for each goto command.
Enumerating supported commands and parameters
The "commands" command returns the supported commands:
commands↵
The command list is returned in a computer readable XML format:
212 commands:
<commands>↵
<command name="..."><parameter name="..."/>...</command>↵
<command name="..."><parameter name="..."/>...</command>↵
...
</commands>↵
↵
More XML tokens and parameters may be added in later releases.
