Support for 9-pin Control Protocol
With version 2.1 software, the MX-2424 can now use the Sony P2 (9-Pin) machine control protocol. Four
new menus have been added to allow the new functions:
Menu 340: Remote Assign.
Menu 340 selects the function of the rear-panel Remote connector. To use
the MX-2424 with the RC-2424 remote control unit, select “RC-2424”. To use
the MX-2424 as a 9-pin device, select “P2 In”.
Menu 360: P2 Device
Menu 360 determines the type of P2 device the MX-2424 will "respond as" when polled by a
controller.
The available settings of this menu are:
TASCAM MX-2424 (default)
Sony PCM-3324S
Sony PCM-7030
Sony BVU-950
These selections are not machine "emulations" in the strictest sense of the word. The P2
implementation in the MX-2424 is a generic one, and is designed to behave correctly under
many different conditions.
A P2 controller, upon detecting a device connected to it will poll that device for identification.
This menu determines how the MX-2424 will acknowledge.
Some P2 controllers will not operate at all unless they receive a response from
the controlled machine that they recognize. Changing this menu may make the
difference between whether the controller can operate with the MX-2424 or not.
