double as an alphanumeric keyboard for entering a Cut's Name or Index Number. Press the F

any Cut that starts with those letters. See page 10.
Playlists
A Playlist is a group of Hot-Keys that play sequentially in one of two ways: one-at-a-time, each
time the P
LAY
button is pressed (MANUAL STEP), or one after the other with no breaks
(FOLLOW-ON). Playlists are built from Hot-Keys stored within the selected Bank, and may
consist of up to 999 events. There is no limit to the number of times a Hot-Key can appear in the
list.
Each Bank contains one Playlist, so a total of ten exist within the machine. See page 11.
External Drive Capability
Instant Replay 2.0 has a P
RINTER
connector on the rear panel which can also be used for
connecting an external drive. This is intended for use with a parallel port compatible Iomega
Zip
drive. (Note that this is different from Instant Replay 2.0 Model 552, which used SCSI
devices.) The external drive can be used as a backup device, or to move cuts from one unit to
another. Also, material intended for a specific purpose can be removed from the unit to prevent
unauthorized use. The Copy features allow a single Cut, a Bank or all Cuts on a Disk to be copied
from one drive to another. Although we recommend using the internal hard drive for all critical
recording and playback, the external drive can be used exactly the same as the internal drive. See
the section on Using an External Drive on page 24.
All menus, displays and functions relating to use of the External Drive are enabled by setting the
External Drive item in the Configuration Menu to ENABLED.
