Standard Editing Functions
The TCR series includes a standard array of editing functions, including Cut, Copy, Insert,
Paste, Erase and time offsets for individual tracks and for the entire machine. The convenient
Jog Wheel, interactive LCD screen and track markers all combine to make editing easy. In
addition, there’s an UNDO button for quickly correcting mistakes.
•
Remote Control Capability
All TCR recorders include a 9-pin serial port for seamless interfacing with edit controllers —
just like a VTR. Using standard RS-422 VTR control protocol, the TCR provides the instant
response of a non-linear recorder when used in a multi-machine editing configuration. TCR
can emulate several common types of VTR and Time Code DAT transports.
TCR Options
TCR recorders may be configured with a choice of high-capacity drives for both the internal drive
and the optional drive in the Drive Bay.
The following table lists recording times for each size drive including the standard 250 MB Zip

drive, in various multi-track recording modes. The recording times listed are approximate, and are
based on continuous recording of all tracks simultaneously. Use of fewer tracks, or intermittent audio,
will yield an increase in the available storage time.

connectors, is an optional item that should be pre-configured at 360
Systems’ factory. If you wish to upgrade your system to include an
optional drive for the Drive Bay, please contact 360 Systems Customer
Support at the location listed in the front of this manual. Only qualified
service personnel should perform the upgrade procedure.
