More About Cuts
Each Cut's length is displayed in HH:MM:SS (hours, minutes, seconds) format. For example,
00:01:30 is 1 minute and 30 seconds. If the Cut is less than a second long, the display shows its
time in milliseconds (thousandths of a second; 1,000 ms = 1 Second).
Once the Cut is assigned to a Hot-Key, the Hot-Key number is also displayed in the lower right
corner of the display. For example, 4-32 indicates that "4" is the currently selected Bank number
and "32" is the Hot-Key number the displayed Cut is assigned to. Cuts that are not assigned to a
Hot-Key in the currently selected Bank show the Bank number followed by 00. This is true even
if the Cut is assigned to a Hot-Key in one of the other Banks.
Cuts also contain an Output Gain value, which allows you to adjust and store the playback level
after the recording has been made. You can adjust output gain in 1 dB increments from +6 dB
(twice as loud) to -90 dB, which is close to the softest sound that can be recorded.
When a particular Cut is displayed, the P LAY button starts the Cut. If P LAY is pressed again
during playback, the Cut will immediately restart from the beginning.
Cut Index Numbers
There are 1,000 unique Index Numbers that identify each Cut; they range from 000 to 999. When
a Cut is recorded, Instant Replay automatically assigns the lowest available Index Number to the
Cut. However, you can also choose another empty Index by using the S
CROLL A RROW K EYS .
Whenever RECORD OVERWRITE is on, you can choose to re-record and replace an existing
Cut while retaining its previously assigned Index Number and any Hot-Key Assignments.
The Index Numbers of Cuts can be changed to any empty Index Number using the Move
operation.
When more than one Cut is present on the Hard Disk, the S CROLL A RROW K EYS will select any
Index Number for playback.
Pressing F IND and typing an Index Number will immediately locate a Cut for playback.
Recording Time
Instant Replay is produced with hard disks having different storage capacities. The standard
Model DR-554 stores a total of twenty-four hours of stereo audio. Instant Replay normally uses
Dolby AC-2 ™ coding, which provides extended storage time while maintaining superb audio
quality. Instant Replay 2.0 can also record in uncompressed linear format at 48K or 44.1K
sample rates. Refer to the chart on page 15 for the recording times available for each model in
the linear formats.
An individual Cut can be as short or long as you like, limited by the total unused time remaining
on the hard disk. The time remaining can be found by holding down the STOP button. The
display will read (Hours:Minutes:Seconds):
TIME LEFT HH:MM:SS
## CUTS HH:MM:SS
The Time Left Indication reflects the choice of Recording Format, so the displayed value will be
accurate whether Dolby AC-2 or a linear format is chosen. Under some conditions, the display
may indicate MAX LENGTH rather than TIME LEFT. This is normal for hard drives larger than
2 gig when they have a relatively small amount of space used. This can also happen with any size
