HD24/96 Technical Reference 10
Status LEDs
The group of LEDs to the left of the time code display indicates the state of several of
the current setup options.
44.1k, 48k and 96k LEDs indicate the selected sample rate.
VARI indicates that the sample rate is controlled by an external word clock
source or video sync signal.
16 BIT and 24 BIT indicate the selected word length.
ERROR indicates a clock or synchronization error, for example, a word clock frequency
that is out of range.
TC indicates that the transport is receiving acceptable time code. This LED is only
active when the HDR24/96 is set to chase time code. The LED blinks when time code is
expected but is either not present or at the incorrect frame rate. When everything is in
order with time code synchronization, it will be on.
CLOCK indicates that a proper data clock signal is being received. It blinks if the
HDR24/96 is expecting an external clock and it’s not present. If all is well, when Internal
clock is selected, the CLOCK LED should be on.
Front Panel Alphanumeric Display (LCD)
The front panel LCD, when not performing a setup or utility operation, is an informative
summary of the current project. A screen saver blanks the display after ten minutes of
display inactivity. To re-activate it, press one of the large < > buttons or any menu
button.
Project Information Display
The following information is displayed on the HDR hardware front panel display after
boot-up and whenever any front panel operation is exited.
PROJECT: [Name of the currently loaded project]
PLAYLIST: [The currently loaded playlist version]
DRIVE: [The disk drive containing the Project - Internal or External]
AVAIL: [The amount of recording time left on the disk]
Menu / Status Display
The LCD indicates menu choices and displays status information when a time-
consuming operation, such as disk formatting or file copy is in process. The large <
and > buttons scroll through the menu horizontally if there are more choices within the
current level menu than can be displayed in the available display area. An arrow <-- or
--> at the top corner of the display indicates that more choices are available, and in
which direction to scroll in order to view them.
NOTE: Whether or not a “Cancel” or “Exit” prompt appears above a SELECT button, it’s
okay to jump directly to one of the other top level menus without responding to a prompt.
It’s a quick “bail out” in case you’ve discovered that you’re in the wrong menu for what
you want to accomplish. Skipping an OK, Cancel, or Exit prompt will not harm or hang
the HDR24/96.
The menu table in the appendix shows the menu structure for all of the front panel setup
and utility controls.
