MMR Bus to other machines, and serve only to activate the machine to which the Serial control device is
directly connected.
Program Speed Play
The MMR/MMP responds in a very controlled way to Sony Program Speed Play commands. The status
response during Program Speed Play indicates Play mode, with the VAR bit set in byte 2 of the Sony
Status array.
Editor Mode Operation Without Video Reference
The Editor Control Mode (set via Setup Menu 000) will not force the Frame Reference (Setup Menu 001)
to Video, and will allow operation of the MMR/MMP without a valid video sync reference source
attached to the MMR/MMP. It is highly recommended to have such a source when operating in this
mode, and to set the Frame Reference Setup Menu to Video, but the system does not require it and will
allow operation even if no such source is detected. If the controlling device is synchronizing the
MMR/MMP via the serial Editor port, it is essential to provide a video reference to insure correct
operation and synchronization.
Hybrid Protocol on Serial Editor Port
The MMR/MMP internal communication protocol (TimeLine’s Hybrid Protocol) can be accessed via the
serial 9-pin Editor control port. This is most useful for companies which want to exercise remote control
(from some other device) of MMR/MMP features not supported via any of the other standard remote
interfaces. Requests for Hybrid Protocol information and documentation should be directed to the
Marketing Director at TimeLine Vista, Inc. at (760)761-4440, or via email request to:

001 Frame Reference
These settings determine the source of the MM unit’s video frame reference signal.
Automatic
Sets the unit to automatically use an internal video reference if no external reference is available. This is
the default value.
Video
When set to Video, the MM unit will reference the video signal coming into the Video In port on the back
of the machine.
002 Sample Reference
These settings determine the source of the MM series unit’s digital sample clock reference signal.
Automatic
Sets the unit to automatically use an internal word clock reference if no external reference is available.
This is the default value.
AES/EBU Input
When set to AES/EBU Input, the MM machine will reference the digital sample clock of the AES/EBU
signal coming in on the machine’s Digital In port.
