About SYNC Setup Software Utility
Remote-Only Mode
When the default Remote-Only Mode (Front
Panel Lockout) is enabled in the SYNC Setup
software utility Preferences window, none of the
SYNC HD front panel switches are operational,
and the Remote Only LED is lit.
To exit Remote-Only mode from the front panel:
„
Simultaneously press and hold down the
Clock Reference, Positional Reference, and
Frame Rate front panel switches.
This will disengage the SYNC HD from Remote-
Only mode. This is useful when the host com-
puter is not easily accessible.
