WC rates (see Sixteen tracks, p.28).

[black] continuous: talkback mic goes to left channel(s), e.g.
the boom operator.
[black] short, then [black] continuous: mic goes to the right
channel(s), e.g. the director and script supervisor.
[shift] [black] continuous, mic goes to both left and right, for
talking to both boom operator and director.
in REC:
[shift] [black] continuous, mic goes to all tracks.
05 MixGain Max

Mixer's faders top position gain. In +6dB mode, the 0dB
mark is the indentation in the linear faders’ guide rails.

Up to 35 seconds @ 8 tracks, 24-bit, 48kHz.
Up to 17 seconds @ 8 tracks, 24-bit, 96kHz.

The 'sleeping' mic-link presets are activated with the button
between the faders M1 & M2, and M3 & M4. The master
is to the left, the slaves control the ±12dBu balance.
09 Line Links
Off 1>2 & 3>4 1>2 3>4 1>2.3 1>2.3.4
Contrary to the sleeping mic-links, line-links are immediately
activated from the selection menu. Slaved faders have no
balance function, they get their gain value from the master.
The 1>2.3 choice is to be used for the Soundfield ST350
line level outputs (see Soundfield B-Format, p.44).
10 ScTk Templt
nnnA / nnA . nn CCCCCCCC.CC
The nnnA/nnA.nn template fits the mostly used Sequence/
Scene system. The 'all C' tem-
plate is totally open, giving the
operator maximum flexibility (see
Scene and Take, p.19).
