Auto Track Mapping; Checking The Current Track Map; Analog 1-4, Video, And Assemble - CB ELECTRONICS SR-3 User Manual

1= Ready/Record
Track arming as per video machine, track arm keys put tracks into ready if the machine is not in record,
if the machine is in record then the track arm keys will put the selected tracks into record.
2= Record
Track arming as per film, track arm keys will put tracks into record directly, there is no ready state. This
mode should only be used in combination with track safe keys.
9.01 SR-24 Auto Track Mapping
Unlike the SR-4 that has 8 track arming keys and a bank key the SR-24 has 24 track arming keys and
an optional bank key. The SR-4 is normally set so that the track arming keys follow the currently
selected machine, however on the SR-24 this is less appropriate. Consider the situation with three eight
track record machines, when the operator would like to track arm any of the three machines. In this
situation an intelligent track-arming algorithm is necessary.
To use first select System track arming mode from the menu (Set-up | UNIT | RECORD | Menu 07:-
Track Arm Keys 0=System).
To map the enabled machines/tracks check that the selected machine is stopped then depress
[Record] and [Track Arm Key 1] simultaneously. The tracks from machines that are connected, not
in Local, and Record enabled are mapped across the track arming keys.. If Root | Unit | Auto track
Map is set to 0= One then the current selected record machine will be mapped across the system
record keys, if set to 1= All Mcn the all currently record enabled machines will be mapped across the
system record keys.
To restore the user EEPROM track mapping depress both [Shift] and [Track Arm Key 1]. The current
EEPROM default track mapping may be user configured. The standard is machine b tracks 1-8,
machine C tracks 1-8, and machine D tracks 1-8.

9.02 Checking the current track map

The Track mapped to Record enable 1 is normally displayed in the centre position of the lower display,
see section 2.07.
To check the current track map for any key depress the [Recall] key followed by the selected track arm
key. The keyboard display should show:-
Mcn:Trk 00:00:02:01
Where the Seconds show the machine number (02) and the frames show the track number (01),

9.03 Analog 1-4, Video, and Assemble

The SR and MR systems always provide access to the digital audio tracks. Access to the Analog, Video
and Assemble tracks may be protected. There are two menu's that determine this as follows:-
Setup | Root | Unit | Rec | Menu 14:- Default Alg & Vid Rec Rdy.
Setup | Root | IFACE | Record | Menu 41:- Analog & Video Rec Rdy.
