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. This input mimics the behavior
of the front panel mute button. When this input is active, all reproducer
audio outputs are muted. The audio will remain muted until this input is
released.
