7-6 The Session Management™ Screen Pages
STATUS column
This uses a pop-up to allow the selection of the status
of machines as follows:
• MASTER
Selects a machine as the Timecode Master. There
can be only one Timecode Master so selecting
MASTER (and the COMMIT) will take the
Timecode Master status away from any other
machine.
• SLAVE
Selects a machine as a Slave to the Timecode Master
machine. The remotes for this machine will follow
whatever the Master does but will not be operative
themselves.
• INDEP
Selects a machine to be Independent and fully
operative.
ABSOLUTE TIMECODE
The ABSOLUTE TIMECODE display indicates the
timecode for its machine.
SYNC column
If belonging to a Slave, the Timecode Display shows
00:00:00:00 when locked, or the difference between
itself and the Master whilst becoming synchronised. If
the system is unable to synchronise this machine with
the Master, the timecode difference will be displayed.
The Sync Flag, situated below the sync timecode
readout for each machine, displays the SYNC status
i.e. LOCKED, UNLOCKED.
