Mode project and the tracks re-loaded.
Longitudinal Time Code (LTC) reader and “Drop Frame” flag
Previously, the Longitudinal Time Code (LTC) reader, as well as the Midi Time Code (MTC)
reader, would not recognize changes in the drop frame status of incoming drop frame time code,
if the incoming code was at a fast forward or rewind speed. This has been corrected.
NON-STD LED
The NON-STD light will now flash when the MX-2424 is set to a Varispeeded in Menu 000.
Remote MIDI LED
Previously, the MIDI led would not illuminate on the RC-2424 when MIDI activity was detected
by the MX-2424’s MIDI ports. This has been corrected.
TL-Bus Offset Captures
Previously, when using a TL-Bus slave, the CAPTURE key could be used to establish an MX
Offset (MXOFS) by taking the slave offline, moving it to a new position, and hitting CAPT then
OFFSET.
However, if the master was still moving while the slave was offline, then its NEW position would
not be used for the offset calculation.
The slave now correctly tracks the master position, even while it is itself offline.
It remains necessary for the master to be online.
Miscellaneous Notes:
The following are some MX-2424 behaviors to keep in mind:
•
The Timecode display of the MX-2424 has a “24 hour time limit”. Values above 23:59:59:29
cannot be displayed. When using Menu 703 “Free Disk Space” with larger hard drives, it is
possible that there will be more than 24 hours of free disk space. If that occurs, the MX’s time
display will “wrap around” from 24 hours. For example, if a disk provides 25 and 1/2 hours of
recording time with 4 tracks armed, the MX will display it as 01:30:00:00 of free disk space.
•
When performing multiple Smart Copy operations from the front panel or Viewnet, please wait
until the “busy” light on the front panel goes out before performing the next smart copy command
in the queue. This will allow the MX-2424 to properly “queue” up the intended copies.
When choosing the start time of a Tape Mode project, the start time is "tied" to the 1st group of
tracks that were recorded in that project. As long as those tracks are loaded, the project's start
time can not be changed. To change the start time in the same Tape Mode project, unload the
original tracks. Once these tracks are unloaded a start time can be selected for the current Tape
