recently soloed unit.
D.4.1.1 Project Numbers Must Match
In RADAR’s Broadcast Mode, all units will be set to the same Project Number at all
times. If audio for a multi-unit project is originally stored in different Project
Number locations, the Projects must first be renumbered to match, using the
RENUMBER PROJECT menu item found in the Project Menu (§4.3.2.7).
A real-world example of this might be if you are working on Project 10 on your
Master RADAR and you had the corresponding audio for your second (Slave)
machine on an Exabyte tape which you just restored to your slave machine.
Assuming that all projects on this slave machine were deleted before the restore, the
restore operation put the audio at Project 1. If you now enter
RADARLINK
from
the Master unit, this slave will play back nothing because it had no Project 10.
Therefore, you must exit from
RADARLINK
, renumber the slave unit’s project to
match the Master unit (or vice versa), and re-enter
RADARLINK
; the project
should operate correctly after this.
D.4.1.2 Operations Available during Broadcast Mode
In Broadcast Mode, the following operations are functional:
• Transport Controls
• Cue (including recall location, enter time, +/-, play to/from/between marks
• Synchronization (see info on Sync, below)
• Jog/shuttle
• “All Tracks” Edits (see description below)
• Changing Parameters (as listed in §D.4.1)
All these controls and operations function as if they were controlling a single
RADAR, performing the same function on all units in a
RADARLINK
ed system.
Please Note: All functions not listed above operate as if Solo Mode (see below) was selected
for the Master.
D.4.1.3 Synchronization
Keeping in mind that
RADARLINK
enables you to operate multiple devices as if
they were a single unit, syncing a
RADARLINK
ed system to SMPTE or MTC
requires that you make the appropriate time code inputs to the Master RADAR
unit.
Remember that the Slave unit(s) are locking to the timing information provided
by the Master unit!
For example, if you want to slave your
RADARLINK
ed system to a VTR (which
is the SMPTE source) you would connect this VTR’s time code output to the
Master RADAR’s SMPTE input. You would then set the Master RADAR to
SMPTE sync, and this unit will then force the slave(s) to chase lock to the VTR.
