Cursor buttons and indicator

The four cursor buttons are used to switch between the
different display options, navigate the various menus and
change SyncStation settings.
The Cursor indicator light found just below and to the left
of the cursor buttons, informs the user when the Sync-
Station is in Settings Menu display mode. When lit, you
can use the cursor buttons to navigate the menu system
and change settings.
When the Cursor indicator light is unlit, the up and down
arrow keys change what is seen on the second line of the
display. The left and right arrow keys function as stop and
play buttons (respectively) for the selected timecode
source.
The left and right arrow keys generate machine control
"stop" and "play" commands that are merged with all the
other machine control transport commands and sent to
the selected timecode source device. This provides a sim-
ple way to test a configuration directly from the front panel
of the SyncStation.

SyncStation Controls
Status LEDs
The three status LEDs on the right side of the front panel
indicate the presence of various signals and the status of
the SyncStation in relation to those signals. The indicators
are as follows from left to right:
1. Frame reference
The green LED lights up when the chosen frame reference has been de-
tected. It will flash while the SyncStation is in the process of locking to
that signal.
2. Clock reference
When the chosen clock reference signal is present, this LED will flash or-
ange while the SyncStation locks its sample clock to the reference and
will be solid when the unit has locked.
3. System Link
The blue LED is lit when the extended System Link connection has been
made to the SyncStation. When flashing, the Precision Timing option has
been turned on but either the System Link signal is not present or is not
in sync with the other frame and clock references.
These indicator lights are duplicated in the SyncStation
Status window and Project Synchronization Setup dialog in
Nuendo.
Reset button
The Reset button resets the USB bus and the LCD screen.
This is equivalent to power cycling the unit. Nuendo must
be shut down before performing this reset of the Sync-
Station. Otherwise the program would loose its connection
to the SyncStation.
