Installation of these panels has already been described (page 2−50).
The MC 3010 is used to control four (MC 3010/1 version) or eight (MC 3010/2 version) tape machines. The display window
shows the name of the machine presently linked to the button group immediately below. Lighted, re−legendable push buttons
are provided for motion control (PLAY, STOP, etc.). Machine commands and status indications are shown in Figure 6−165.
The method by which machines are linked (assigned) to the MC 3010 is described in detail elsewhere in this manual (see
Assigning Machines to Control Panels on page 5−149). Essentially, each button group is “associated” with a particular output
of the routing switcher and switching a VTR to that output will cause the VTR to appear over the button group. This “follow−
the−switcher”concept should be understood before operating the panel.
Gang Start
To send the same command to more than one machine, toggle on the GANG START key for each desired machine. Then press
the appropriate command key (RECORD, STOP, etc). All following commands will be sent to all marked machines until the
GANG START keys are toggled off.
Gang Start commands will be applied to marked machines on both left and right halves of a dual panel.
