Using the Start SMPTE Input
Please refer to the
Hardware
section of this manual for pin
assignments and other
electrical details for the Parallel
Control connector.
The Parallel Control connector also contains inputs for starting or
stopping the SMPTE Interface. Unlike the Group Control inputs, the
SMPTE Control inputs are Opto-Isolated and require a voltage (24V) to
be input to them from an external source.
The way to start playback using the SMPTE Control inputs is to configure
the Binloop to generate SMPTE, program a playback trigger in the
SMPTE Trigger Table and start SMPTE using the Start SMPTE input.
When the timecode reaches the programmed trigger time, playback
begins.
Single Reproducers, Groups of Reproducers, or All Reproducers can be
triggered. It’s all in how you program the trigger.
Using the Mute Input
The Parallel Control connector also contains an input that can Mute the
audio output on all of the Reproducers. When this input is active, all
reproducer audio outputs are muted. The audio will remain muted until
this input is released.
