900 System
900 Store Settings
This menu allows for storing and recalling the current settings as a user settings file in the MMR-8 or
MMP-16. When using ViewNet to control the MM series machine, ViewNet settings files provide a better
way to create, save, and recall users settings. To save a customized setting, select Setup Menu 900 (press
SETUP, then the 9 key). Press the TRIM key, and rotate the Wheel or use the arrow keys to select the
User settings file number (1 - 10) desired. Press STO. This saves all of the current Setup parameters to
disk in the target User settings file. These settings are retained by the MMP-16, independently of even the
usual automatic-save, automatic-restore sequence, and may be recalled when desired.
901 Recall Settings
This menu allows for recalling any of the 10 user settings saved in the MM series machine. To recall a
previously stored User setting, select Setup Menu 901 (press SETUP, the 9 key, and rotate the Wheel CW
or use the arrow keys to locate menu 901, “Recall Settings”). Select the desired User settings file from the
list (press TRIM to change the Wheel and arrow key function to scroll through the Menu selections). It is
not possible to name the User settings files, nor is it possible to back them up to floppy disk or to restore
them to hard disk. It is possible to create and save named settings files using the ViewNet Audio
graphical interface. Note that Setup Menu 901 also allows the operator to select the last User setting that
was used (“Previous” option) as well as reset the MMP-16 to the factory defaults (“Default” option).
Most Control modes require that certain synchronization signals appear on one or more MMP-16 sync
inputs. If these signals are not present, the MMP-16 will fail to respond correctly. The following
configuration information is divided into the three main application areas of the MMP-16 (video, film,
and audio-only). Typical signal connections and Setup Menu selections are covered.
910 Set MM:DD:YY [Date]
This sets the date used by the system. Whenever a recording is made, the current date and time are used to
“time stamp” the recorded files.
911 Set HH:MM:SS [Time]
This sets the time used by the system. Whenever a recording is made, the current date and time are used
to “time stamp” the recorded files.
912 Change Password
Use this Menu to change the system password which protects user settings.
920 LED Brightness
The menu allows for setting the brightness of the LEDs on the front panel. The range is 0 – 18.
940 Machine Name
This field sets the name of the MM series machine. This information is stored as part of the system init
file on the hard disk of the MM machine. This name can also be set using the Machine Information
window available in the Machine menu. The machine name is shown in the Network and Project View
screens of ViewNet Audio.
