Playback
8 o’ clock
This selector position opens
access to the files of the day
only.
Files of the Day
Main selector on PLAY, the last recorded file is played.
Arrows can be used to browse the files of the day.
Once selected, a file is immediately played, press the
[white] central button of the main selector to stop it.
On the message panel:
1. play-mark set by the [black] button or scrub jog.
2. playing status:
(square)
stop [white] button
(>)
play at sync speed [white] button
(x)
2x speed [shift•–>] Back to 1x [shift•<–]
(-)
continue to next file [shift•ok]
3. elapsed time from start of take.
4. percentage already played.
5. real timecode of played sound.
6. unique filetag (or scene & take, see pic. caption).
7. take length.
[Esc] scrolls the characteristics of the played file such as
sample rate, bit depth, TC numeration.
Play-mark
If you want to make a pause, while the file is playing lay
down a play-mark with the [black] button, then stop
with the [white] button. Resume play by pressing it
again.
The latest created play-mark overwrites the former
one.
Scrub
Rotating the jog shifts the play-mark forward and
backward, resulting in a constant 1x forward playing
sound which is more intelligible than the stretched and
reversed sound generated by other scrubbing meth-
ods.
To ten times accelerate the search speed, press the
[shift] key. Each jog tick makes for a ten instead of a
one second jump.
LTC fps in Play
When playing back a recorded file, the frame rate of
the LTC sent to the Lemo-5 is the one which has been
applied during the recording of this file, not the frame
rate Cantar is currently set to. If you switch to REC, the
LTC-out instantly comes back to the frame rate setting
of the current project.

7 o’clock
This main selector position
opens access to all the folders of
the current project.
Wake up Hdd !
When in STOP the disk goes to sleep after one minute
or more (see
TECH 9 ‘Hdd power down
’), directly going
from there to BROWSE or PLAY shows “sleeping/no
disk detected”. To reactivate the disk make a quick
main selector back & forth movement. Obviously this
protection is not active on the REC side where the
system instantly wakes-up in less than 2 seconds!
All Days
Go to BROWSE . The current working day shows; to
go to other days, press the OK button opening access
to the bottom line, and use the jog and arrows. Validate
by OK, the cursor jumps back to the middle line.
Jog to ‘files’ and press OK. The last file of the day is dis-
played on the bottom line; browse the files by jog or
arrows, press OK to select a file.
You can now go to PLAY or to PPR to edit its ‘scene
& take’ IDs.
Note: [shift•eyeball] replaces “filename and length” by
“scene & take” in the message panel; this can help find
a file.
All Projects
To explore the complete Hdd you must successively
select the various projects it contains., then go to ‘All
Day Files’ (see above).
