Professiona hard disk recorders
require professiona remotes. But
we went far beyond just transport
contros and record arm buttons
when we designed our Remote 48.
It fu y dup icates the entire front
pane of our HDR24
/96 Recorder/
Editor and MDR24
/96 Recorder
— inc uding LCD and LED dis-
p ays, a function buttons and entry
keypad.
In fact, the Remote 48 adds fea-
tures inc uding a weighted jog/
shutt e whee , additiona Locate
Time disp ay, 10 keypad and more.
Use the Remote 48 to contro
two HDR24
/96 s or two Mackie
MDR24
/96 s or one of both. When
connected to an HDR24
/96 , the
Remote 48 contro er is fu y inter-
active with our recorder/editor’s
SVGA graphic user interface.

RECORD READY BUTTONS for tracks 1-48.
CAPTURE copies the instantaneous va ue of
Tape Time into the Locate Time.
TAPE TIME a ways shows the current position
of the MDR/HDR
/96 “p ay head” (Cur-
rent Time), and is the same as the Cur-
rent Time disp ays on the recorder front
pane s.
LOCATE TIME disp ays the time that the
Transport wi ocate to when the Locate
button is pressed, and acts as a scratchpad
or working disp ay from which you can
view stored time va ues, manua y enter
and Store specifi c times to these va ues, or
disp ay the resu t of time code addition/
subtraction operations.
JOG gives precise contro over Transport
cueing by p aying audio both forwards and
backwards at non rea -time speeds in pro-
portion to how the Whee is rotated. Jog
p ay speed varies continuous y between 0x
and 1x of norma p ay speed.
SHUTTLE a ows you to p ay audio both for-
wards and backwards at non rea -time
speeds in proportion to how far the Whee
is rotated. Shutt e p ay speed is quantized
to 1 /
32, 1
/
16, 1
/8, 1 /
4,1
/
2, 1x, and 2x the norma
p ay speed.
LOCK OUT disab es user input from a soft-
ware and hardware contro s whi e a ow-
ing the HDR/MDR24 /96 to otherwise
operate norma y.
AUTOPLAY automa t ic a y st ar t s P ayb ac k whe n
you’ve jumped to LOC or Cue point.
AUTO TAKE automatica y increments the
active Virtua Take of a armed Tracks at
the beginning of each record pass.
JOG/SHUTTLE/DATA WHEEL is u sed for d at a en t r y
in certain Auto ocator operations, such as
scro ing through the Cue List or chang-
ing time va ues in edit time operations,
in addition to contro ing Jog and Shutt e
motion.
RECORD SAFE disarms a tracks and disab es
a recording contros. When enabed,
Record Safe prevents you from arming
tracks and entering record.
AUTO INPUT is used for recording, and affects
on y armed tracks. When Auto Input is
On, a armed tracks monitor their inputs
except in P ay, where tape p ayback is mon-
itored. When Off, armed tracks a ways
monitor their inputs.
ALL INPUT is most often used for rehearsa
and eve setting. When A Input is On,
both armed and unarmed tracks monitor
their inputs, and Auto Input has no effect.
When A Input is Off, output monitor-
ing is determined by Auto Input.
TRANSPORT CONTROLS: Rewind,
Fast FWD, Stop, P ay, Record.
NUMBERED LOCATE POINTS. sends the
Transports immediatey to the
time set for that point.
PUNCH automatica y punches into
Record at the punch in point, and
punches out of Record at the punch
out point.
REHEARSE a ow s you to pra ct ice pu nc hi n g
without recording anything to disk, and
automatica y stores the punch points to
the Auto Punch in and out points.
RECALL ca s up the time of stored va ues
into the Locate Time dispay (Cues,
Numbered Locates, Pre Ro time,
Loop and Punch Lengths, ast Pay
position).
PREROLL is the amount of time by which the
transport ocation is offset when jumping
to a Cue or LOC point.
LOOP repeats p ayback between Loop Start
and the Loop End points (Locates 1 and
2). Punch and Loop, and Auto Take can
be used together to ooped auto punch
operations.
