Remote
To get access to all of Cantar's functions, physically set the
[MainSelector] to PPR, then click on the desired position of
the VirtualSelector (yellow circle turns red) (11).
Play&Rec
The VirtualSelector turns blue when
a Play&Rec 'BLUE' function is
called by pressing the keyboard
or Cantar [shift] button. The panel
(12) is used to select and activate
the play-cards.
Metadata screen
For consistency, metadata is presented in the Cantar Sound-
Report lay-out (except that the most recent takes are on top
of the page). It is either immediately written in the open
audio file (in REC, yellow background: in PPR, orange
background), or stored in a buffer if the file is closed or inac-
cessible (red characters, gray background), waiting to be
'pushed' to the connected Cantar in BROWSE position.
Access to the 'Metadata' screen is allowed on the positions
where the MainSelector becomes dark gray; double click
on the selector itself.
Operands screen
This screen gives access to the AUDIO/TC, TECHSET,
SESSION and BACKUP parameters. TECHSET 'Save Setup'
stores the saved parameters in the Cantar memory.
Sound report
A PDF/CSV sound-report builder is implemented. PDFs from
Tarkan save time at wrap.
TCP/IP
Disable the firewall; on a
Mac
consult the manual, the pro
-
cedure is different for OS-X 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.6 (Leopard).
Either 'allow all connections' or 'allow specific' i.e. Tarkan.
Make sure that no other TCP/IP activity is occurring. Turn
'OFF' Bluetooth and WiFi, quit Skype, your e-mail client, all
widgets and anything else that is scanning the internet.
A tip by T. White: If you are using your usual laptop for
Tarkan, instead of turning off internet scanning apps, set up
another user which you log in as just for a Tarkan session
with all the correct parameters and log back in as the usual
user for normal use.
It takes from 10 sec (Mac) to 60 sec (Win) for Tarkan to
assign a dynamic IP address to Cantar.
A tip by J. Casanova: Every time your laptop wakes-up, it
takes agonizing seconds to find a dynamic IP, to avoid this,
assign it a fixed IP. Open the local network properties, enter
'Tarkan Connection' instead of 'Default Local Connection', dou-
ble-click ''Internet Protocol', set address to 169.254.213.29,
network mask to 255.255.0.0, leave the rest blank. It now
takes 4 seconds for Tarkan to talk to Cantar.
