D424 MO Recorder
Date printed: 06.03.02 SW V 1.6
Operation 4/29
INDEX 0 DURATION (Menu 646) Commercial CDs often have an invisible “ index 0” part between two
tracks. It allows to have a pause when playing the 2 tracks in sequence, but
also to indicate the end of a track with the track signal and to start immedi-
ately when paused at the begin of the following one.
When transferring sequences from the D424 to the CD writer, a pause of
2...5 seconds may be inserted between the tracks. This is useful when con-
stant pause periods with index 0 are required.
If individual pause times are required, they have to be inserted when edit-
ing the sequence. Transferring is then performed with no additional “ index
0 pause” (parameter = 0). The CD will then be recorded without index 0.
When inserting a pause between two tracks, cross-fades are usually ap-
plied similar to insert recording. No additional cross-fades will be added,
when there already is a cross-fade section at the take begin (e.g. take has
been defined by a new record start, or a pause has been inserted manually).
Note: In ADD mode, the Studer D741 will generate pauses of 2 seconds regard-
less of the D424 settings. Use the “ toc” mode for transferring sequences
with continuous transitions from one take to the other (e.g. live concerts).
4.7.6 SCSI Addresses
The addresses of SCSI peripherals have to be unique. The SCSI host of the
D424 core board is on address “ 7” , the default address of the internal MO
drive is “ 1” . The default address of the Studer D741 CD recorder is “ 2” .
The address of an additional external drive may be set to any address be-
tween 1 and 6, except the address of the D424's internal drive.
If connecting several D424 MO recorders with a SCSI cable, the address
of the additional recorders has to be adapted. See the troubleshooting sec-
tion for the modification of the D424's internal drive.
The address of the Studer D741 may be changed at the DIP switch near the
SCSI connectors on its rear panel (for details see Studer D741 Operating
Instructions).
For changing the SCSI address of other CD writers, please consult the
corresponding manual.
