RollTrack
This function allows the value of the delay time
produced by this module to be sent, via the
RollCall™ network, to audio delay units connected
on the same network. This enables compatible
audio delay units to produce an audio delay
dependent on this and other similar units. The audio
delay unit will dynamically follow or track the
received delay-time information allowing processed
video signals to be timed correctly with audio
signals. This automatic tracking system via the
RollCall™ network is call
RollTrack
.
For more detailed information, see the RollTrack
section (Appendix) at the end of this manual.
The destination for the delay information is set by
the network code address as follows:
Selecting
RollTrack
provides a sub-menu that
allows up to 8 audio delays to be selected as a
destination.

To edit the text the buttons adjacent to the upper
text line in the menu are used to select the
character position in the text and the spinwheel
used to select the character.
(The right

buttons select the cursor
position and the spinwheel selects the character;
the clear button sets the text line to all zero’s and
the OK button accepts the network address)
For more detailed information see the RollTrack
section of this manual.
The full network address has five sets of numbers.
For example: 0000:10:01*14*51
The first set (0000) is the network segment code
number
The second set (10) is the number identifying the
(enclosure/mainframe) unit
The third set (01) is the slot number in the unit
The fourth set (14) separated by an * is the channel
number.
Note that only channel numbers 14, 15, 16 & 17
should be used for audio delay cards.
The fifth set (51) is the board type identification.
Once a destination address for a unit has been set
the OK function will return to the unit menu to allow
another address to be set if required.
