Firmware upgrades usually preserve all user menu settings. However, save a snapshot of the settings to
a setup file on the hard drive or CF. Once a firmware upgrade is complete, restore settings from this file,
if necessary. Some firmware updates may make changes to user setups; verify all user setups after an
upgrade.
CL-1 Remote Control and Keyboard Interface
The CL-1 Remote Control and Keyboard Interface is an available hardware accessory to interface
with PS/2 compliant computer keyboards and enable external devices to control the 744T. When us-
ing the CL-1, front panel controls and menu selections on the 744T can be mapped to keyboard short-
cuts, allowing for full keyboard control of the recorder. Additionally the CL-1 has contact closures for
programming remote inputs or outputs. These are commonly used for machine control and “remote
rolling” using a mixing console with transport controls.
Connecting the CL-1
1. Connect the included C. Link cable to the 744T’s C. Link Input connector.
2. Connect the opposite end of the C. Link cable to the CL-1’s C. Link connector.
3. Connect a PS/2 keyboard to the PS/2 connector on the CL-1.
4. Connect switches between assigned pins 1-6, pin-7 (ground), and pin-8 (+5V) on the CL-1. ( See Logic
Inputs and Outputs )
The C. Link port on the 744T provides power for CL-1 operation.
