System Setup
The GUI Setup window is accessible from the Windows menu or by using the keyboard shortcut [Ctrl+1].
Five submenus can be accessed from the row of icon buttons along the left side of the Setup window.
Setup options can be found on the front panel LCD from the SYSTEM, DIG-I/O, and SYNC system
control buttons. Setup options that have no function when operating from the front panel, such as mouse
speed, cannot be set from the front panel menus.
The front panel setup functions are duplicated on the Remote 48, so all instructions for using the front
panel LCD, System Control, and SELECT buttons apply to the Remote 48, even if not indicated. If you
have two recorders connected to the Remote 48, be aware of the DECK 2 button in the lower left corner
of the control panel. You can set up either of the two recorders from the same set of Remote 48 controls.
This button directs your operations to the primary recorder (the one to which the Remote 48 is connected)
or the secondary recorder that’s networked to the primary one. When the LED above the DECK 2 button
is illuminated, you’re talking to the secondary recorder.
Appendix A details all of the settings and their options. In this section, we’ll just show you how to get
there.

options. Select Fast for most general operations, but you might want to slow it down for high
resolution editing.
