The character displayed in the Mach Sel field is a code which represents the differ-
ent available machine types. The characters range from 0 to 9 and then use the
letters A, b,c,d,e,F,g,h, enabling 18 different machine types to be represented. The
list of machines, together with which character is used to select them, is shown
below. Now turn the Jog Wheel to change the character displayed in the Mach
Sel field until it matches the one required for the machine you are using.
When the required character has been selected, press the DISPLAY MODE but-
ton once: the 7-segment display reverts to timecode display (the TC DISP LED
illuminates) and the message "Storing..." is displayed briefly, indicating that the
machine setup has been memorised. This setting will be retained until it is changed
again by repeating the above procedure.

Notes:
MTC and LTC Master modes are used to make the Ghost behave as a virtual
machine, generating timecode when PLAY is pressed, to which other equipment
can be synchronised.
LTC Master mode is useful for striping tape.
MTC and LTC Slave modes are used to activate Ghost's timecode reader to read
externally generated timecode, so that mute snapshots and program changes can
be fired in sync with external equipment. The transport controls are inoperative in
these modes.
MMC Open Loop (MTC) is useful for machines which do not send transport tally
information back to the console. This may be the best option when using MMC
machines which are not listed above.
The three variations of Sony 9-pin control differ only in the implementation of
record enable.
