FRONT PANEL SELECTORS
1.
As stated, the front panel is divided into 2 identical sections designated as SOURCE and RECORD. Each section has 3
toggle switches located between 2 LEDs: one green and the other red. Located below each of these switches is another
toggle switch designated SOLO and AUTO.
1.1 1-2 SELECTOR SWITCHES
These toggle switches are only enabled when the SOLO-AUTO switch below it is in the SOLO POSITION. In this
mode the 1-2 toggle switches will select either device 1 or 2 as required. AUDIO, VIDEO, and/or RS422 can be select-
ed for either device. This feature is useful when the need exists for previewing a clip from VTR#1 while compiling
footage from VTR#2. All three switches work independently once the SOLO feature has been enabled by the SOLO-
AUTO switch.
1.2 AUTO SWITCH
At the very center of the panel are two large square push-button switches designated: AUTO. The graphics indicate
that the left switch controls the SOURCE side and the right switch controls the RECORD side. These are PUSH-
LATCHING switches. Just push in to activate and push again to release. The switches are equipped with a BI-
COLOR illumination device which changes color to immediately indicate its position. When pushed-in (AUTO
SELECT: 2), the color is GREEN. When released (AUTO SELECT: 1), the color is RED.
1.3 SOLO-AUTO SWITCHES
In the SOLO mode, this switch allows the selection of information based on the operation described above. In the
AUTO mode, control is designated by the large AUTO push-button switches. If all three SOLO-AUTO switches are in
the AUTO position, then just pressing and releasing the AUTO switch will select either machine 1 or 2 accordingly.
You may place any of the 3 SOLO-AUTO switches in the AUTO mode as required. In this configuration, the AUTO
switch overrides the position of each 1-2 selector switch and routs either machine based on the "pushed-in" or
"release" position described in paragraph 1.1.
1.4 CONTROL TOGGLE SWITCH
Located directly above and between the two AUTO switches is the RS422 control selector switch. Since Non-Linear
Edit Systems usually only have one RS422 port, it is necessary to let the edit computer know where to look for its
controlled device. During the digitizing phase (SOURCE SELECT), the control toggle must be in the SOURCE direc-
tion. Now it will route either VTR selected to the editor RS422 port. When you are ready to output the signal to one
of the record VTRs, the switch must be in the RECORD position. This then allows the editor to control either of the
selected VTRs. This system is the answer to the multiple VTR but single RS422 port problem. In this setup, the
RS422 connection from the One-2-Punch and the Non-Linear Edit System is made via the SOURCE IN 9-Pin con-
nector located at the bottom of the cabinet. There is no need to connect the RECORD 9-Pin bottom port, unless a
dual Non-Linear configuration is used as in DIAGRAM 1-A (NEXT PAGE).
