Safety and Warnings
Use only the power supply module that was supplied with the unit.
• Plug the power supply module’s power cable into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
The cable is equipped with a three-prong plug to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use
adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from the cable. If you must use an extension
cable or power strip use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
• Use of the incorrect power supply module can damage the unit and will void the warranty.
There are no user serviceable parts. Refer service to 360 Systems or one of its
authorized agents, or a trained electronics technician.
WARNING: To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other open flames away
from this product at all times.
SAFETY:
When operating your equipment:
• Place the equipment on a hard, level surface.
• Ensure proper ventilation. Do not place your equipment in a closed-in wall unit or other
enclosure, or on a soft, fabric surface such as a bed, sofa, carpet, or a rug. Do not leave
the unit powered on while covered. Do not restrict airflow into the unit by blocking any
vents or air intakes.
• Do not use your equipment in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub, sink, or
swimming pool or in a wet basement.
• Do not use AC powered equipment during an electrical storm.
• Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power cable for
the equipment or for any AC-powered option intended for the equipment, purchase a
power cable that is approved for use in your country. The power cable must be rated for
the equipment and for the voltage and current marked on the equipment’s electrical
ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the
ratings marked on the equipment.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the equipment and peripheral power cables into
properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to
help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong
from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly
grounded plugs.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Ensure that the total ampere rating of all
equipment plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of
the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
• When turning off the Instant Replay, do not unplug the AC power cable or the rear panel
power input connector before performing a shutdown using the front panel power switch
or the User Interface controls. Doing so risks loss of recorded data and setup information.
CAUTION: The AC ground connection must always be made first and
disconnected last to prevent an energy hazard. Never defeat the ground conductor or

Page 6 Instant Replay 3 Operations Manual
operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor.
Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are
uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
• Position equipment cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that they cannot be
stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
• Before you clean your equipment, disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Clean your
equipment with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquids or aerosol cleaners,
which may contain flammable substances.
• Clean the air vents on the front, back, and sides of the system with a clean, damp cloth.
Lint, dust and other foreign materials can block the vents and restrict the airflow.
• Do not spill food or liquids on equipment components, and never operate the equipment in
a wet environment.
•If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the equipment from the electrical outlet
and replace the part or contact your trained service provider:
oThe power cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged.
oAn object has fallen into the equipment.
oThe equipment has been exposed to water.
oThe equipment has been dropped or damaged.
oThe equipment does not operate correctly when you follow the operating
instructions.
CAUTION: Incorrectly installing or using an incompatible battery may increase
the risk of fire or explosion. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer, carefully following installation instructions.
Dispose of used batteries properly (see “SAFETY: Battery Disposal”).
• Handle batteries carefully. Do not disassemble, crush or puncture batteries. Do not short
external contacts, dispose of batteries in fire or water, or expose batteries to temperatures
higher than 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit). Do not attempt to open or
service batteries. Replace batteries only with batteries designated for the equipment.
SAFETY: Battery Disposal
Your system uses a lithium coin-cell battery. The NiMH, lithium coin-cell is a long-life
battery, and it is very possible that you will never need to replace it. However, should you
need to replace it, refer to the Appendix for instructions.
Do not dispose of the battery along with household waste. Contact your local waste
disposal agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit site.
Network Security
• It is strongly recommended that when using Instant Replay on an outward facing network
that it be protected by a VPN, firewall or other dedicated security device. 360 Systems
makes no representations that the Instant Replay is secure against unauthorized outside
access.
• Do not share usernames, passwords or other credentials with anyone outside of your
network.

Instant Replay 3 Operations Manual Page 13
CHAPTER 1 –OVERVIEW
FIGURE 1
GENERAL
Each chapter in this manual contains various information regarding the ways to
control and operate the system.
Since the system is designed to be intuitive, key labels and the interface provide
substantial guidance on the operation of the system.
For most users, the information in the first two chapters should provide the basic
information needed to operate the system. More detailed information on system operation
is provided in later chapters and the appendices of this manual.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
Instant Replay's front panel controls are shown in Figure 1. Most of the buttons
include an indicator light to show when they are in use. They are functionally
grouped as follows:
Hot-Keys
Navigation Keys and Power Button

Page 14 Instant Replay 3 Operations Manual
Transport Control Buttons
Function Buttons
Setup and Configuration Buttons
These controls are described briefly in this section.
Hot-Keys
The 50 Hot-Keys provide the primary functionality for play out on the system. There
are three functional uses for Hot-Keys:
1. Triggering playback of assigned Cuts
2. As an alphanumeric keyboard (in combination with the Navigation control
buttons)
3. Bank selection ( 1 through 50)
The main array of 50 buttons are Hot-Keys numbered 1 through 50. A Hot-Key's
primary function is to trigger playback of a clip assigned to the specific key. Hot-
Keys light up or change color whenever their assigned Cut is playing. In certain
modes, cued Hotkeys or Hotkeys with special operations pending will light in
different colors indicating their state or operation.
In the Bank Select mode, the fifty Hot-Keys are used to select the corresponding
Banks numbered 1 through 50. The banks are like pages of Hot-Keys. They extend
the number of clips that can be assigned to Hot Keys to 2500 (50 Hot Keys times 50
Banks ) and also provide a method for organizing clips.
Navigation Keys and Power Button
The bottom row of buttons on every screen allow the user to navigate to other
areas of the interface or allow certain actions to be completed. Note that
depending on the current state of the system, buttons may be enabled or disabled.
Power Button
The power button is located on the front panel.
A short press of the power button (one to four seconds) initiates a normal power
shutdown.
Continuing to hold the power button down will force the immediate power off of
the system.
When the system is off, a short press of the power button will turn on the
system power.

Instant Replay 3 Operations Manual Page 15
Transport Control Buttons
The Transport Controls include STOP, PLAY, PAUSE and RECORD as well as
modification keys.
STOP:
Pressing STOP ends recording or playback. Pressing and holding STOP fades the
clip down to a stop over a predetermined period of time.
PLAY:
PLAY Starts playback of the currently selected clip. Note that pressing Play
initiates playback from the beginning of the selected Clip, even if it is already
playing. The exception is when Play is used to disengage Pause or if a Clip is
cued to a specific point.
RECORD:
RECORD Places Instant Replay in Record Ready mode. A default time stamped
name is provided which can be changed any time prior to the actual start of the
recording. Pressing Play initiates the recording which continues until a set time
limit is reached (see Record Settings) or STOP is pressed. A Record Threshold
value can be programmed to allow the recording to start when the input level
rises to the threshold.
LOOP:
Loop causes a clip to repeat endlessly until either Stop or Loop is pressed. Stop
ends playback immediately. Pressing Loop exits from the Loop mode, and allows
the current Clip to continue playing to its end. Pressing Loop while running a
Playlist will have different effects depending on whether the Follow On setting is
set to MANUAL or FOLLOW ON. (See MANUAL setting for more information.)
Note: Loop on the keyboard only effects clips. To loop a playlist, use the LOOP
soft button on the Home screen of the Touch Screen Display.
PAUSE:
Pause interrupts playback of a Clip. When pressed again, playback will resume.
FF (Fast Forward):
Pressing the button causes the playing clip to speed up the playout of the
playing clip.
REW (Rewind):
Pressing the button causes the playing clip to speed up the playout of the
playing clip in reverse.
FOLLOW ON:
Pressing the FOLLOW ON button causes the playout of certain playout functions
to alter. Basically, if FOLLOW ON is lit, clips that play sequentially such as HOT-
LISTs or playlists, will continue playing each clip in order until the list is
complete.

Page 16 Instant Replay 3 Operations Manual
If FOLLOW ON is off (MANUAL) clips that play sequentially such as HOT-LISTs or
playlists, will stop at the end of each clip and wait for the user to press PLAY
again.
Function Buttons
BANK SELECT:
The 50 Hot-Keys are stored in Banks. There are 50 Banks; this allows 2500 Clips
to be programmed as Hot-Keys. When you press the Bank Select button, it lights
and the Hot Keys change color. Pressing Hot-Keys 1-50 will directly select the
corresponding Bank and load any assigned Hot Keys.
Note: Depending on how many keys are assigned, it may take a few seconds for
the bank to load.
ASSIGN HOT-KEYS:
The Assign Hot-Keys button lights when pressed and the display prompts for
selection of a Clip. Pressing a Hot-Key immediately assigns the selected Clip
shown in the top line of the display to that Hot-Key, overwriting any previous
assignment.
PREVIEW:
When Preview is pressed in Stop mode the main audio outputs are muted, so
Clips played subsequently can be auditioned from the headphone output only.
Both the analog and digital audio outputs are muted.
Setup and Configuration Buttons
MENU:
Pressing the Menu button when the system is Stopped, will open the Main Menu.
Items in the Main Menu are described in the following sections.
CANCEL:
This button is used to end certain operations.
SCROLL UP/DOWN LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS:
Used for manual navigation of certain functions depending on the active screen.
TAB LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS:
Used for manual navigation of certain functions depending on the active screen.
FIND:
In certain clip navigation screen, the Find button will automatically place the
cursor in the Search field. This allows for quick location of files on the screen.
ENTER:
Used to enter Menus, initiate operations, confirm choices on many of the
screens.

Instant Replay 3 Operations Manual Page 17
HOT-LIST:
When the unit is idle, pressing the HOT-LIST button and subsequently pressing
HOT-KEYS, will build a list of clips in the order that the HOT-KEYS are pressed.
Pressing HOT-LIST again concludes the building process. Pressing HOT-LIST
again displays the keys that are part of the HOT-LIST by lighting the associated
keys. Pressing PLAY will start the playout of the HOT-LIST.
NOTE: Depending on if FOLLOW-ON is on or off (MANUAL) dictates if the next
clip in the HOT-LIST will play automatically or stop after each clip.
NOTE: To clear an existing HOT-LIST, go to the Main Menu , open the Bank
Manager screen, and select which Bank to clear the HOT-LIST from. Click CLEAR
HOT-LIST.

Page 18 Instant Replay 3 Operations Manual
CHAPTER 2 –THE TOUCH SCREEN
Although the main functions of the Instant Replay are executed through the keyboard,
the touch screen enhances the functionality of the system by providing live information
as well as additional features for maintaining the infrastructure of the system. This
section covers details regarding each screen.
When navigating using the touch screen, the most common touch screen functions are
available. Tapping the buttons on the screen will execute the buttons. Finger
scrolling will move extended screens up/down or left/right as needed. Double tapping
certain items will execute those items. In addition, arrows, tabs, enter and the hard

MANUAL / FOLLOW ON button: Controls the mode the clip is in. This button
affects what happens to a clip when it finishes playing dependent on the state of
the LOOP. In general, with LOOP off, MANUAL mode causes a clip to halt at the
end of its playout. With LOOP on, the clip would repeat playout until acted on.
In FOLLOW ON mode, playout will continue if there is a NEXT clip in the cue.
This could be from a Playlist, Hot-List or a next cued clip.
LOOP button: When on (green) this button (see also the physical keyboard LOOP
button) will loop the currently loaded clip when played until this button is turned
off.
Playlist Section
The playlist section provides the name of the playlist (if a clip from a playlist is
currently loaded or as a next cued clip).
SHUFFLE button: Randomizes the playout of a loaded playlist.
LOOP button: When on (green), loops the currently loaded playlist. Note that if
the LOOP button in the Clip section is enabled, the current clip will loop until the
Clip section LOOP button is disabled.
Information Section
Various messages or alerts are displayed in this field in gold depending on the state
of the system.
Audio Control Section
The audio controls include a scale to adjust the head phone volume and VU meters
for visualizing the audio levels during playout.
PREVIEW button: The preview button turns off the main outputs leaving only the
headphone output active. The PREVIEW button can only be activated when the
system is idle.

The bottom row of buttons on every screen allow the user to navigate to other
areas of the interface or allow certain actions to be completed. Note that
depending on the current state of the system, buttons may be enabled or disabled.
