4/4/2014 MM-4240 User Manual v.2.00
10
6. Quick routing information
The MM-
4240 is equipped with an “INFO” button allowing the user to quickly view routing
information. The quick info screen displays routing for all five output busses, channels enabled
for recording and real time clock. The quick info also displays the number of files on the SD
card, SD card usage in percent and remaining recording time at current configuration. The MM-
4240 automatically switched between card usage and remaining recording time when the
“INFO” button is hold. In play mode the remaining recording time will not be displayed.
If the device is recording, the current internal buffer usage is displayed in the quick information
screen. This is useful to get a hint of the speed of the SD card; if the buffer level continuously
fills to near 100% the SD card is alarmingly slow for the current record setup.
The following routing information is shown when holding down the quick info button:
MASTER OUT
MONITOR OUT
HEADPHONE OUT
DIGITAL OUT 1
DIGITAL OUT 2
RECORD (Not shown when playback is activated)
BUFFER LEVEL (In record mode)
FILES (In idle- and play- mode)
REMAINING RECORD TIME (In idle mode)
7. Solo
The solo function is shared with the menu navigator button.
To solo one of the input channels to the headphone output use the UP- (Channel 1), RIGHT-
(Channel 2), DOWN- (channel 3) or LEFT-button (Channel 4).
When the channel is sent monophonic to the head
phone channel the “CHx” indicator is
highlighted.
The solo function is only available in primary display mode and in recording mode.
See “Recording with the MM-4240” for color coding of “CHx” indicator.
8. Virtual time code slate
The MM-4240 has a virtual time code slate function. The feature is useful when recording video
with cameras that doesn’t have a time code function.
When the mixer is in recording- or idle- mode the right button of the recorder navigation key can
be pressed. The virtual time code slate will be displayed for 30 seconds allowing the user to film
the mixer during this time. To manually exit the feature press the right button again.
When filming the MM-4240 the LED will flash with one FPS + 1 millisecond if external time code
is connected. If external time code is not present on the time code input connector the LED will
flash with 24FPS. The flash occurs exactly when the frame counter becomes zero. When the
flash occurs the counter in the time code counter in the display will have some delay since it is
impossible to display time code before it has been read. In the post process the flash can easily
be found, if the flash is active for more than one frame the first frame showing the flash shall be
used as time reference.
