DELETE CLIP Button: Dedicated button that when pressed, deletes the currently selected clip. When pressed,
the system displays a precautionary “ARE YOU SURE?” prompt. Press the up-arrow
ADJUST button to delete the clip, or the down-arrow ADJUST button to abort the
deletion. When a clip is deleted, the next clip is cued for deletion. Pressing DELETE CLIP,
STOP or any other button—while “ARE YOU SURE” is displayed—cancels the deletion.
Pressing any button other than ADJUST up always aborts deletion.
DELETE CLIP can be used in either the TRANSPORT menu or the MEDIA menu. When
pressed in the TRANSPORT menu with a current clip active (PLAY, REV, FF, RECORD), the
active mode will continue until the DELETE CLIP is confirmed.
SLOT Button: The SLOT button serves two purposes. First, it selects which storage is accessed by the
system. Second, the SLOT button is used to unmount a currently selected piece of media.
Pushing the Slot button cycles between unmounting media and selecting media. This
function is only active when in the “STOP” mode and requires a “PRESS STOP TO
CONFIRM” if not stopped. After you select a slot, the system returns to the last selected
clip and timecode for that slot. If the media has been changed since the slot was last
selected (physically removed/media replaced), then the “first” clip on the media will be
“cued” to its start point. If inserted media has any issues, additional prompts may be
displayed as appropriate such as: “WARNING Backup and Reformat” or “WARNING Media
Unrecognized.”
Disk Storage Module Release
Button:
Press and hold to physically release a storage module from the unit; you must pull out
the storage module while pressing the button. This action prevents a storage module
from accidental removal while recording/playing. For safe removal of media, the
corresponding slot LED must be unlit.
Head Phone Volume Knob: To adjust headphone listening level, press the knob inward and the knob will then pop
out for easy adjustment.
Displays and Indicators The displays and indicators consist of an alphanumeric and graphics display, analog
audio level VU meters, and LED status indicators for the media slots. Display and indicator
details are as follows:
Alphanumeric and Graphics
Display:
Display details: The display is a 140x16 Graphics display. Normally, it will be configured in
a 2x20 character format. All menus are designed to fit into this format, so some words
may be truncated to fit the display limits.
Operational note: The display power consumption is directly related to the number of
pixels that are turned on and the intensity. Therefore, the default brightness is an
intensity value of 6 (on a scale of 1-8) and users will be able to diminish this value to
conserve as much as 22% power consumption for the VFD. The intensity setting of the
VFD also correlates to the backlit buttons on the unit (play, select up, select down, etc.).
Caution!
Not using the SLOT button to unmount the media can lead to issues with the media if
the media is removed prior to this action.
Caution!
Removing any media with the slot LED lit, or while flashing, can result in corrupted
media or potential damage to the media.
