Track Arming
The MCS3-SP sends the appropriate commands for track arming
analog and digital machines. When the unit is powered on, it
defaults to track arming the audio tracks. The MCS3-SP can also
arm Insert Video, Assemble and Timecode as well.
The buttons marked F5 & F6 change the function of the F1-F4
buttons. After power up or pressing F5, buttons F1, F2, F3 and F4
are used to arm audio tracks 1 - 4. Pressing F6 configures buttons
F1, F2, F3 and F4 to arm the video and timecode tracks or select
assemble recording.
To change modes:
Press F5 = Audio 1 – 4 arming
Press F6 = Video, Assemble and Timecode
After powerup OR pressing F5:
F1 - Digital Audio 1 + Audio 1
F2 - Digital Audio 2 + Audio 2
F3 - Digital Audio 3
F4 - Digital Audio 4
The MCS3-SP does not query the deck for machine status. Due to
this, the MCS3-SP has no knowledge of any track enabling done
on the front panel of the VTR machine itself. Nor does it know the
status of the machine when the MCS3-SP is first powered on. The
MCS3-SP powers up operating under the assumption that all tracks
are unselected.
Using the MCS3-SP with a host
In some applications, the MCS3-SP may be used with a computer
based application. In this case, please consult the user
documentation for details about connecting and using the MCS3-
SP with your application.
After pressing F6:
F1 - Video
F2 - Assemble
F3 - no function
F4 - Timecode
