    Euphonix TT007 Operation Manual Chapter 1: Overview Introduction The TT007 is an optional rack-mount device that provides machine control for all Eu- phonix consoles. The TT007 allows the console to become the single, centralized ma- chine control hub within any studio. Virtually every machine, in or out of the control room, can be remotely controlled from the console at the press of a button.

    Euphonix TT007 Operation Manual TT007 Menu Modes 2.1.3 Connecting Controllers to the TT007 The TT007 serial ports (S1, S2, S3) are wired so they can be cabled directly to devices. When connecting an additional controller to the network, the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) pins of the RS-422 interconnect cable must be reversed to enable the TT007 to em- ulate a device and translate controller commands to the network.

    Euphonix TT007 Operation Manual Configurations In addition to simply slaving to timecode, however, the Euphonix system can also act as the machine transport controller for the Master video deck. Even though the Euphonix console is a slave to incoming timecode, it can still use its transport controls to drive the master machine.
  • Page 27: Tcr As Master With Serial Control

    Many older video decks do not provide timecode on their serial control cable, which is used only for machine control. The Euphonix system allows these machines to act as the Master by reading its audio LTC timecode track at the TcR Input Port.
  • Page 28: Lynxnet As Master

    Configurations LynxNET as Master The Euphonix system can address eight machines using the TimeLine Lynx protocol. S1 can be configured as the interface Port to the LynxNET. Any machine on the Lynx- NET may be assigned as Master for the entire TT007. We recommend that the master Lynx module feed timecode to the TcR Port using the From Master option to ensure accurate synchronization if video is not present.
