024 Relock Threshold
Automatic (default)
1/3 frame
1 frame
2 frames
5 frames
10 frames
This menu determines the size of the error between the MX and the
master which must be detected before a “relock” will take place [see
above]. In the “Automatic” mode, the threshold is set to 1/3 frame for
LTC chase and 10 frames for MTC chase.
Note: If menu “
023 Chase Relock” has inhibited the relock action,
and if the lock error has exceeded the threshold specified in this
menu, then the front panel “CHASE LOCK” LED will flash to
indicate that condition.
Lock Error Display
A new lock error display has been installed which will show the amount of deviation of the MX’s
position from that of the LTC or MTC chase master. The format of the display is:
ERR 00:00:00:00
If the MX is not specifically chasing LTC or MTC then this display will show all zero’s. However, if the
MX is chasing and locked, but with the “relock” function disabled, then this “ERR” display is useful for
monitoring the current amount of drift.
The ERR display is accessed from the front panel by pressing Shift + ONLINE, and from the RC-2424 by
pressing Shift + LOOP. (Circumstances did not permit the use of the same keystrokes in both
environments.) It is neither necessary nor prohibited to preceed these keystrokes with the RCL key.
Timecode Lock Deviation display added to Edit & Transport Windows
(MX-View)
A new lock error display has been added to the edit menu machine info bar which will show the amount
of deviation of the MX’s position from that of the LTC or MTC chase master. The chasing MX must be
selected as the current transport focus in the Transport window. If the MX is not specifically chasing
LTC or MTC then this display will show all zeros. However, if the MX is chasing and locked, but with
the "relock" function disabled, then this display is useful for monitoring the current amount of drift. Note
that when chase locked, a yellow circle with the letter "L" is displayed in the timecode display of the
chasing machine in the Transport window.
When the MX determines that drift is excessive, it will begin to flash the "CHASE LOCK" LED on the
chasing MX's front panel. This can also now be seen as the chase lock indicator flashes in the Transport
Window.
