Mackie MDR 24/96 Operation Manual page 8

Status LEDs
The group of LEDs to the left of the time code display
indicates the state of several of the current setup options.
TC indicates that the transport is receiving acceptable time code. This LED is only
active when the MDR24/96 is set to chase time code. The LED blinks when time
code is expected but is either not present or at the incorrect frame rate. When
everything is in order with time code synchronization, it will be on.
CLOCK indicates that a proper data clock signal is being received. It blinks if the
MDR24/96 is expecting an external clock and it's not present. If all is well, when
Internal clock is selected, the CLOCK LED will be on.
Front Panel Alphanumeric Display (LCD)
The front panel LCD, when not performing a setup or utility operation, is an
informative summary of the current project. A screen saver blanks the display after
ten minutes of display inactivity. To re-activate it, press one of the large < >
buttons or any menu button.
Project Information Display
The following information is displayed
on the MDR24/96 hardware front panel
display after boot-up and whenever any
front panel operation is exited.
The MDR 24/96 allows only one playlist. If a project is brought from an HDR24/96,
the last active playlist is used (you are not able to switch to other playlists from the
MDR24/96).
Menu/Status Display
The LCD indicates menu choices and
displays status information when a
time-consuming operation, such as disk
formatting or file copy is in process.
The large < and > buttons scroll
through the menu horizontally if there
are more choices within the current level menu than can be displayed in the
available display area. An arrow ← or → at the top corner of the display indicates
that more choices are available, and in which direction to scroll in order to view them.
