Further setup parameters will be listed on the Machine Setup Options pop-up,
depending on which protocol has been selected. Note that electing Teac LV210
produces no other options.
DCTM Machines
Selecting DCTM produces the following list of parameters. If a machine has been
selected from the Machines list, values for these parameters will be those
recommended by SSL. If you are creating parameters for a new machine, seek help
from your local SSL office or distributor if you are unclear as to the effect each
parameter may have on the performance of the machine under J Series control.
Each time a major software update is released, an updated set of machine parameters
will be provided. If you feel you have improved on the SSL settings, we would like to
hear from you!
Pulses per Second – The machine’s tachometer rate per second at standard play
speed. Stabbing on the current entry gives you the option to have the computer put
the machine into Play and measure the rate (select Automatic). Alternatively, select
Edit and enter a known value.
Forward Direction Sense – Toggle this to the level, High or Low, on the direction
sense line when the machine is in Play.
Note that a password protected facility in the MISC/System/Diagnostic menu can be
used to determine the correct settings for the above parameters. Contact your local
SSL office or distributor for more details.
Drop In with Play + Record – This should be set according to the requirements of this
machine to enter record, ie. Play and Record simultaneously (Yes) or just Record (No).
The selection toggles with each stab of the pen. Note that this option is not affected by
the setting for record in the Desk Config/Transport Layout pop-up (see Page 3-15);
that simply determines how the operator will punch in. The setting here must be set to
match the machine requirements. Any difference between the two settings will be
sorted out by the system.
Drop Out with Stop + Play – This should be set according to the requirements to drop
out of Record, ie. Stop and Play (Yes) or Play only (No). The selection toggles with
each stab of the pen.
Timecode from Input – There are four timecode inputs to the computer on a 25-way
‘D’ connector on the computer’s rear panel. Stab to select the correct input for the
current timecode source.
Target Window – This is the window in which the computer will park the machine at
the target. Stab on the current entry to enter a new value.
Decision Interval – This is how often the chase algorithm checks where the machine is
when locating. Stab on the current entry to enter a new value.
Note that the locate table (see Page 3-29) is automatically re-initialised when either
Target Window or Decision Interval parameters are changed.
