Introduction
The SL 9000 J Series Total Studio System combines a new and advanced analogue
console with a powerful new computer. The system can be optionally provided with
integral hard disk storage of both audio – with DiskTrack, and video – with
VisionTrack. For operational details on these options, see the appropriate Operator’s
Manuals.
The J Series Computer features an entirely new automation system based on the
advanced processing used in SSL’s family of digital products. The result is a faster
system, which provides automation of major console functions as well as
comprehensive session management capabilities.
The computer uses an internal hard disk, known as the System Disk, to store data. The
way that the data is stored is different from previous SSL computer systems, but the
new system still retains the ability to store information such as Cues, Track Lists, Total
Recall Setups and Mix Data. These files can be transferred to other storage mediums
such as 650Mb Magneto-Optical or High Density, 1.44Mb, 3.5" Floppy disks for
transfer between different studios.
Information stored on G Series Bernoulli Data Cartridges or 3.5" disks can be imported
onto the computer’s System Disk, and mix data saved with G Series software can be
converted to play back on a J Series system.
The J Series Computer features a pen and tablet as its user interface. Although this
type of interface may be new to you, the pen is an instrument that is a very natural
tool to get to grips with – most of us have been using a pen since we were children –
and you will soon get used to it (see over the page).
NB. If you are reading this manual away from the console, you may find it useful to
remove the drawing at the end of this section, in order to verify the location of front
panel buttons.
