Harris ADC Device Server User’s Guide
5-2 Cart Machine Configuration
Options
Eject on Initialization: A stop command is issued to the cart machine whenever the Device
Server is started or the port is re-initialized. Default is disabled (unchecked).
Enable VTR 1-6: This parameter allows you to select which VTRs are available for use. In
the Enable VTR window, if a VTR is not selected, the VTR is not used by the ADC Device
Server (or the cart machine). This is useful when using a cart machine VTR for some other
operation or when the device is broken. To start using a deselected VTR, make sure this
VTR is selected in the Enable VTR window. Default is 4 VTRs enabled.
Keep Media in VTR: A tape inserted in a VTR is retained by the VTR (not ejected). The tape
can then only be manually ejected. This feature allows the VTR to behave as if it has a
storage location to hold a tape - like a cart machine.
Sync Adjust
This parameter adjusts the sync play value for external VTRs (Sony and Ampex
protocols). The Sync Adjust setting has a default of zero and should never have to be
changed. However, if it needs to be changed, the value can be changed from -20 to 20
frames. A positive value causes the tape to come up to speed past the SOM by the
specified number of frames at the end of preroll. A negative value causes the tape to come
up to speed before the SOM by the specified number of frames at the end of preroll.
