§ MMR Bus Slave improvements: MMR Slave units will respond locally to record commands
regardless of bus Master record status
§ Record punch change: Punch during chase modes now waits for locked status (time code /
biphase chase plus video resolve).
§ Bug Fixes:
§ Slip In/Out in Feet/Frame: Allows Slip In/Out to work properly in Feet Frames display
mode when there is a “local 0” offset
§ Store nudge amount: Allows storing Slip In/Out amount from the front panel (previously
worked only on remote)
§ All Safe fix: All Safe on MMR Bus slave not overridden by master
§ Fix “Busy” exit: Fix potential sync loss in biphase chase if system is “Busy” while the
biphase master is moving. This typically occurred while slipping tracks.

while leaving it enabled during recording.
§ External Resolve changes: Permits various combinations of External word clock (or
AES/EBU) with external frame references (Video/Lynx/TC/Biph). Video resolve is now
supported while the sample clock is locked to the external sample source. Causes "EXT
RSLV" LED to illuminate, indicating that external resolve is required to guarantee stable
sync.
