Enhancements
Menu 703:
Previously, the "Free Disk Space" Menu could be confusing when displaying
available disk space beyond 24 hours. This has been modified to represent
available disk space in an Hours/Minutes format.
Menu 004:
Two new frame rates have been added to Menu 704:
23.976 (The "pull down" variant of 24 frames per second)
24.975 (The "pull-down" variant of 25 frames per second)
These new time code rates will allow the MX-2424 to synchronize with formats that use these
rates, such as video for High Definition Television.
New Macro Tool:
Hitting the CLEAR key plus one of the following: "REC SEL", "INPUT", or "EDIT" will clear the
corresponding track selections. For example, CLEAR + REC SEL will disarm all record enabled
tracks.
This function aids macro recording on the RC-2424. Macro sequences often rely on the track
arm, edit, or input status to be in a known state (e.g. all tracks unarmed). Previously, there was
no command an operator could give to specifically "de-select" the arm, edit, or input status of a
key; They could only be toggled on and off.
With this new macro tool, the operator can have an initial step in the macro that specifically
ensures track arm/edit/input status of all tracks.
Capture Track:
A new edit operation has been added called "Capture Track". This operation places the In and
Out points around all the audio on an edit-enabled track. If no tracks are edit-enabled the In and
Out points will be placed at the head and tail of the project.
Capture Track is accessed by pressing SHIFT + SETUP. This function is also accessible from
Menu 290.
Spotting SDII Audio Files with Pro Tools 5.1
Previously, MX-2424 generated SDII audio files would not spot correctly into a Pro Tools 5.1
session. With version 2.1 software, the MX-2424's SDII files will now spot correctly into a Pro
Tools 5.1 session.
