To locate to each of these cue points, select the cue to highlight it and then touch the LOCATE button
in the left center of the touchscreen. The value will be entered in the DMX-R100 LTC display immedi-
ately above the transport controls and the multitrack will automatically locate to that point. If necessary,
the timecode values for each cue can be fine-tuned by selecting it and then using either the jog/shuttle
wheel or the ten-keypad. Be certain to leave sufficient "pre-roll" time for each cue to allow for machine
startup times (which will vary according to the specific multitrack you are using). Note that even though
TC LINK is turned ON for each of these new cues, it will not have any effect since the TC LINK button
is off (as per step 8 above). (To be doubly safe, you can set TC LINK OFF for each of these new cues.)
Jump to step 8 below.
7a
If your multitrack recorder is not capable of chasing (chase-locking) to incoming SMPTE time code but
can output SMPTE time code (either directly or from a "striped" track), follow the directions here.*
Make a connection between the SMPTE (LTC) output of your multitrack recorder (or the analog output
of the striped track) and the Time Code input of the DMX-R100.
7b
Go to the Sync/Time Code window (under the SYSTEM tab) and set TIME CODE READER Source to
TIME CODE IN.
8
Make sure that the TC LINK button in the Snapshot section of your DMX-R100 is unlit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is inadvisable to use SMPTE-triggered cues along with dynamic automated
mixing because unexpected results may occur.
9
Make sure that the word "HOLD" does not appear in the OPTIONS button in the upper right-hand cor-
ner of the touchscreen. If it does appear (indicating that the WRITE HOLD function is engaged), touch
the OPTIONS button and select WRITE HOLD from the dropdown menu so that the word "HOLD"
disappears.
10
Make sure that the OFF button in the TC Automation section of your DMX-R100 is lit, indicating that
automation control is off; we'll be turning it on soon enough!
11
Go to the Title Manager window and name the current Title "Tutorial 3" and then press the SAVE but-
ton in order to save it to Flash Memory.
* Alternatively, a device capable of outputting stable MTC (MIDI Time Code) can be used; simply connect its
MIDI output to the DMX-R100's dedicated MTC input, then set Time Code reader to MTC IN in the Sync/Time
Code window
