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.

KVM Extender Hookup Instructions
TOOLS REQUIRED: ¼” Allen Hex Wrench
PROCEDURE:
Cabling at Remote Stand
•Route the following cables through the center post of the Remote stand. Note,
some of these may already be installed as part of the standard remote stand.
Remove any cables that do not appear on this list.
a) Video Cable, 5 ft.
b) RS422 Cable, 5ft.
c) IEC “Y”Jumper Cable M/2F, 6ft.
d) Trackball, p/s 2
e) Mini Keyboard, p/s 2
•At the bottom of the stand, attach cables to the Extender Receiver Unit (820-
06701-00) and the cable tray as shown in page 1 of the installation diagram.
Note that the RS232/422 adapter has been relocated from the rear of the Pilot PC
to the serial port on the Extender Receiver as shown.
Cabling at Pilot PC
•Install the cables for the Transmitter Unit of the Extender (820-6701-00)
according to the instructions included with the Extender. Note that a wall
transformer is included and need only be used on the transmitter side of the
extender.
•Locate the Transmitter Unit of the extender in a secure location.
Installation of Cable Tray
•Attach one end of the 1ft CAT5 cable (0320-6659-00) to the Receiver Unit of
the Extender and the other end to the CAT5 F/F bulkhead connector.
•Using the supplied 3M Recloseable Fastener strip (000-06909-00), secure the
Receiver Unit of the Extender to the cable tray as shown in page 1 of the
installation diagram.
•Bundle the excess length of the remote stand cabling behind the Receiver Unit
and attach the cable tray to the bottom of the remote stand using the two
¼” socket head cap screws which secure the center post at the bottom of the
stand. Tighten securely, making sure that no cables are pinched and that no
cabling sticks out of the cable tray, interfering with the casters.
•Attach 032-06758-00, 20m CAT5 extension cable, to both the receiver and
transmitter units of the extender. The green indicator light should turn on
both units when the transmitter is plugged in and the CAT5 connection is
made.
•Start up the R1 system and verify that all signals are working properly,
including the keyboard, mouse/trackball, video, and remote.

Stand Height and Angle Adjustments
The Remote Stand features 2 height and 1 angle adjustments, allowing
comfortable positioning of the Remote worksurface.
1) The upper section of the Remote has six inches of vertical adjustment. This
places the worksurface from 30.7”to 36.7”above ground.
•Loosen the lever on the side of the Remote pillar to raise or lower the
entire upper section. Pneumatic assist is provided to ease the raising
of the upper section.
•Tighten the lever to keep this height adjustment.
2) The angle of the Remote head is adjustable through a sweep of 10%, down
from horizontal.
•Loosen the lever at the top of the Remote pillar to adjust the angle of
the Remote head.
•Tighten the lever to keep this angle adjustment.
3) The monitor shelf Is designed to carry a 15”TFT style video monitor. The
shelf is attached to the back of the Remote pillar on a mounting bracket with
two screws. Six screw holes are provided, allowing for 4 mounting positions
in a range of 3”vertical.
•Use the included Velcro strips to attach the monitor to the monitor
shelf.

Power On Sequence
The Remote can be powered up at any time during the R-1 power on sequence. All
the keys will flash briefly. The Remote Display will read ‘Waiting for Pilot’until the R-
1 software application is started. The software version number will show briefly in
the Remote Display. The Remote can also be powered on at any time after the R-1
application software is booted.
Special Setup Precaution
Care should be taken that all connections at the Remote wire tray and the Pilot
computer are secure. Once the cable has been attached, complete the connection by
tightening the securing screws on the cable connector or terminator, or use strain
reliefs where applicable. Particularly in a stand mounted Remote installation where
the Remote will be moved frequently, it is important that connections at the wire
tray are secured to prevent accidental dislodging.
