R-1 REMOTE
Overview
Purpose
The R-1 Remote is the dedicated control unit for the R-1 Multitrack Recorder. The
layout of the Remote is designed to feel familiar to experienced multitrack operators,
yet provide access to additional functionality that is exclusive to R-1 operation, such
as Editing and File Management.
In addition to providing control of nearly all R-1 functions, the Remote also
displays status information to the operator, such that the operator can read the
system status with a glance. The Remote uses a lighting scheme that is designed to
function optimally in the subdued lighting that is common to most professional audio
production facilities.
The Remote is connected to the Pilot computer via RS-422. The RS-422 signal
from the Remote is distributed by the Pilot computer to the Studio Hub and Audio
Deck via the IEEE1394 connections.
Features
The Remote is organized into sections that group keys of related functionality
together on the worksurface.
Locator - The dark gray rectangle in the lower right quadrant of the Remote
contains only keys and controls that would be found on a standard locator.
Track Management – This section allows management of Track status individually
or in groups as designated by the operator.
Editing – In addition to the more familiar tape machine like functions, R-1 makes
use of the power of disk based editing. This allows many functions to be performed
within R-1 that previously required laying off to other systems.
File Management – A section is dedicated to File Management so most of these
functions can also be done from the familiar interface of the Remote.
Applications
The Remote is designed to accommodate a variety of mounting options. With
available mounting hardware, the Remote can be rack mounted in a 5RU space. The
Remote is also avaiable with a dedicated stand that features a monitor shelf and a
slide out tray for keyboard and Trackball. The Remote stand combines all of the R-1
control interfaces into one compact integrated unit that can be moved easily on its
mounted wheels.

There are 2 RS-422 connectors on the back of each Remote, allowing daisy
chaining in installations where up to three Remotes per R-1 are desirable. This
feature is intended to support use of a second Remote from, e.g., a machine room, as
opposed to configuration for R-1 control by multiple operators at multiple control
stations. In multiple Remote configurations, each connected Remote is continuously
active. Multiple instances of video monitors, keyboard and mouse are not now
supported.
The stand mounted R-1 remote ships from the factory with a 1meter (33 feet)
snake that includes the Remote RS-422 cable, video monitor cable, keyboard, and
Trackball cables. If the Remote needs to be located further from the R-1 rack mount
components, an extender package is avaiable that allows location of the Remote to
distances up to 100 meters (328 feet) the rack mount units. The extender consists of
small Transmitter and Receiver modules that are connected via a thin RJ45 cable
which carries the signals of the video monitor, RS-422, keyboard, and Trackball
between the modules.
