Locate Functions
The MCS
3
may be “taught” locations either on the fly (program
is playing) or while stationary (program is stopped.)
Locates are stored by pressing and holding the Record button,
and while holding the Record button, press W1 thru W6.
A location request will be sent, and the response stored within
the MCS
3
. This will be remembered until power is removed
from the MCS
3
.
The MCS
3
stores six locate points:
• W1 Locate 1
• W2 Locate 2
• W3 Locate 3
• W4 Locate 4
• W5 Locate 5
• W6 Locate 6
Track Arming
Function Keys F1 - F4 can be used to arm tracks 1 - 4, and
Function Keys F1 - F4 can be used to arm tracks 5 - 8.
Track Number Shifting
Function Keys F5 & F6 act as track number "shift buttons".
For example,
F1 through F4 toggle the track arming state of tracks 1 - 4.
Press and release F6:
F1 through F4 now toggle the track arming state of tracks 5 - 8.
Press and release F5:
F1 through F4 now toggle the track arming state of tracks 1 - 4
again.
Be aware that the MCS
3
has no knowledge of any track
enabling done on the front panel of the VTR machine itself.
Nor does it know the status of the machine when the MCS
3
is
first powered on. The MCS
3
powers-up operating under the
assumption that all tracks are not enabled.
