Using MCR-4V
Group Operations via Master
Group operations such as the starting and stopping recording for
the connected units can only be performed via the Master. Upon the
start of a group recording, the main recording settings will be
temporarily copied to all connected Slaves. Upon the stopping of
recording, all copied settings will be returned to their original state.
Using MCR for Windows, it is possible to start
and stop recording by group by connecting
the Master to a PC via USB.
