360 Systems DigiCart/E - Manual (Page 15)

Overview • • • • 5
Remote control Model RC-320 provides full access to DigiCart functions. Each unit is housed in a low
profile package that allows for convenient placement. User interface with DigiCart is enhanced through
large format, color-coded keyboard-type buttons sensibly placed across the panel. The RC-320 is especially
practical when building and editing Playlists and assigning Hot Keys.
A bright display duplicates the command line display on DigiCart/E and is readable even in brightly lit
rooms.
Programmable Hot Keys play back cuts with single-keystroke speed. Once the Hot Keys are assigned, they
will remain in memory even if power is turned off between uses. Linear Playlists may also be directly
assigned to Hot Keys. Hot Keys are ideal for frequently used cuts, such as sound effects, jingles, and
station IDs.
In operation, cuts are found by simply typing in an ID number or scrolling through the directory listings.
The RC-320 Pause button works in playback or analog record mode, while the Loop button is handy for
repeating a cut without breaks.
The three menu choices, Utility, Setup and Edit, allow access and decision making on all related items. Use
the Setup and Utility menu functions to reconfigure DigiCart to best accommodate current operational
needs. The Edit menu works for both cuts and Playlists.
Four Machine Select keys allow a single RC-320 to independently control four DigiCarts.
