Track Arming Analog Or Digital Machines
The MCS6 can send the appropriate commands for track arming analog
or digital machines.
The unit normally is configured for digital track arming.
To change modes, press and hold down buttons F5 and F6 at the same
time.
While holding down F5 and F6, press F2 to change to analog mode.
While holding down F5 and F6, press F1 to return to digital mode.
Track Number Shifting
Function Keys F1 - F4 can be used to arm tracks 1 - 4, and
Function Keys F1 - F4 can be used to arm tracks 5 - 8.
Function Keys F5 & F6 act as track number "shift buttons".
For example,
F1 through F4 toggle the track arming state of tracks 1 - 4.
Press and release F6:
F1 through F4 now toggle the track arming state of tracks 5 - 8.
Press and release F5:
F1 through F4 now toggle the track arming state of tracks 1 - 4
again.
Be aware that the MCS6 has no knowledge of any track enabling done
on the front panel of the VTR machine itself. Nor does it know the status
of the machine when the MCS6 is first powered on. The MCS6 powers-
up operating under the assumption that all tracks are not enabled.
