4. Software
Stelladat II's software contains many possibilities of configuration, multiple useful settings and
several sophisticated functions, unique on a recorder of that size.
The Menu Tree is displayed on the LCD screen. The first line shows the active menu or sub-
menu. The access to the Menu Tree is only available in STOP mode, pressing vertically on the
joystick.
Joystick
The joystick and the ESC key allow access to all the menus of the recorder. The joystick is the
main tool for navigating through the menus. It is also used in the JOG and SHUTTLE modes to
varispeed-search the tape in both directions, and from the Locator to reach four previously stored
tape locations.
ESC Key
The first function of the ESC key is to cancel the last choice while navigating in the menus.
It is also the enter and exit key for the LOCATOR Menu (in STOP mode) and allows to clear
stored tape locations in PLAY or REC mode.
Stelladat II's Menus
Stelladat II's menus can be accessed in STOP mode only. A vertical press on the joystick is all it
needs to display the MAIN MENU window. A push on the joystick to the right
accesses the
Time Code Menu. Pushing down scrolls down to the next menu. In this way it is possible to
navigate through the menus, the sub-menus and the latter's choices. A vertical press confirms a
displayed choice. If the user decides however to maintain his previous selected choice, pressing
on the ESC key cancels. To scroll back in the Menu Tree, move the joystick to the left
or up
