HDR 24/96
Dual Time Display on Remote 48
While advantages exist in both paradigms, if you do have a Remote 48 attached to your HDR
24/96, you already know or will soon learn of its elegance. While the GUI seems more powerful
for interacting with every parameter directly (and the HDR is particularly cool in this respect), it
is often the tactile Autolocator that is faster, because its key sequences are short and closely
clustered, and well, it’s just more tactile. Perhaps not as intuitive as drag-and-drop, but once
learned, the Locate Time and its display are very flexible and powerful ways to work with precise
times quickly.
Along with the dual display of TAPE TIME (Current Time) and LOCATE TIME, you will see
that the Remote 48 provides a CUE display, a VARI (Varispeed) display, and a CAPTURE
button in this same area.
Tape Time
The TAPE TIME display always shows the current position of the HDR24/96 “play head”
(i.e. Current Time), and is the same as the Current Time displays on the HDR24/96 front
panel and GUI.
Locate Time
The Locate Time window shows the time that the Transport will locate to when the Locate
button is pressed, and is the same as the LOCATE TIME display in the
GUI Cues List .
Locate Time also acts as a scratchpad or working display into which you can recall/preview
stored time values (Cues, Numbered Locates, last Play, Pre-Roll, and Punch and Loop
lengths), manually enter and Store specific times to one of these time values, or display the
result of time code addition/subtraction operations.
The LOCATE TIME display window should be distinguished from the Locate Time
(register) itself, because the display can also be used for previewing time values stored in
various parameters. See the sections on
Recalling/Previewing (page 71) for clues on how to
best use the LOCATE TIME display.
Cue
Cues are numbered locations, which do not have dedicated buttons and must therefore be
recalled before locating. The Cue numbers range from 0 to 999. The CUE number display
shows the number of the Cue that was last entered, stored, or recalled from the Remote 48.
This Cue number is independent of the Cue Entry number in the GUI. When STORE or
RECALL is pressed, the rightmost dot in the Cue display flashes until the operation is
canceled or executed to indicate that the Cue display is the focus of numeric (Cue number)
entry. During a preview, the CUE display will show the Cue number or name of the stored
value being previewed:
PrE = Pre-Roll
LoP = Loop Length
PCH = Auto Punch
L1, L2, L3, L4 = LOC 1 through LOC 4 respectively
PLA =
Last Play
