To locate to each of these cue points, select the cue to highlight it and then touch the LOCATE button
in the left center of the touchscreen. The value will be entered in the DMX-R100 LTC display
immediately above the transport controls and the multitrack will automatically locate to that point.
If necessary, the timecode value for each cue can be fine-tuned by selecting it and then using either the
jog/shuttle wheel or the ten-keypad. Be certain to leave sufficient "pre-roll" time for each cue to allow
for machine startup times (which will vary according to the specific multitrack you are using). Note that
even though TC LINK is turned ON for each of these new cues, it will not have any effect since the TC
LINK button is off (as per step 8 above). (To be doubly safe, you can set TC LINK OFF for each of
these new cues.) Now jump to step 8 below.
7a
If your multitrack recorder is not capable of chasing (chase-locking) to incoming SMPTE time code but
can output SMPTE time code (either directly or from a "striped" track), follow the directions here.*
Make a connection between the SMPTE (LTC) output of your multitrack recorder (or the analog
output of the striped track) and the Time Code input of the DMX-R100.
7b
Go to the Sync/Time Code window (under the SYSTEM tab) and set Time Code Reader Source
to TIME CODE IN.
8
Make sure that the TC LINK button in the Snapshot section of your DMX-R100 is unlit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is inadvisable to use SMPTE-triggered cues along with dynamic automated
mixing because unexpected results may occur.
9
Make sure that the abbreviations "WH" (for Write Hold) and/or "TH" (for Touch Hold) do not appear
in the AUTO button box on the touchscreen's top menu bar.** If it does appear (indicating that the
WRITE HOLD and/or TOUCH HOLD functions are engaged), touch the AUTO button on the top
menu bar and select WRITE HOLD and/or TOUCH HOLD from the drop-down menu so that the
initials disappear.
10
Make sure that the OFF button in the TC Automation section of your DMX-R100 is lit, indicating that
automation control is off; we'll be turning it on soon enough!
11
Go to the Title Manager window and name the current Title "Tutorial 3" and then press the SAVE
button in order to save it to Flash Memory.
* Alternatively, a device capable of outputting stable MTC (MIDI Time Code) can be used; simply connect its
MIDI output to the DMX-R100's dedicated MTC input, then set Time Code Reader Source to MTC IN in the
Sync/Time Code window
** These advanced functions allow armed objects (see page T-7 for an explanation) to remain in write-ready mode
even when time code is stopped. For more information, see Chapter 4 in the DMX-R100 Operating Instructions.
