Time Code Display

meric displays and 3 mode LED’s to the left of the
display. These mode LED’s indicate the current time
display format.

HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS:FRAMES
“feet” LED on = Timecode display format:
FEET:FRAMES
“beats” LED on = Timecode display fromat:
BARS:BEATS
no LED on = Timecode display format:
MINUTES:SECONDS
SAMPLES.
The display uses periods as delimiters. The timecode
display mode is set in ProTools from the big counter
window. Some time displays, such as
MINUTES:SECONDS have a least significant digit
display in thousandths of a second (three characters).
These values will be displayed with 2 digit accuracy.
The right most period blinks on and off when Dashboard
is on-line with ProTools.
Talkback.
Pressing and holding the TALK switch on Dashboard will
light the TALK LED and route the internal talkback mic to
the speaker outputs as assigned in the Stereo Monitor
mode on Dashboard. When TALK is on, the Control
Room and Studio speaker outputs are dimmed (made
quieter) by the amount set in the Stereo Monitor mode on
Dashboard.
Release the TALK switch to return to normal monitoring.
Be VERY careful when you have Talkback Slate on. This
routes the talkback mic to the control room speaker
outputs for use in recording into ProTools for slate use.
Be absolutely sure that the Control Room speakers are
turned OFF ! VERY IMPORTANT ! ! Be absolutely sure
that the Slate level is turned all the way off in Dashboard
before you turn on the Control Room speakers.

When this LED is lit, it means that the current session
has been changed in some way and that the undo option
is available. Press the UNDO switch to undo the last edit
operation. If the UNDO LED remains lit, it means that
more “undo’s” are needed to teturn to the original state.
Press the UNDO switch to continuie undoing. If the
UNDO LED goes off, then the session is unaltered.
When this LED is blinking, it means that the redo option
is available. Press the UNDO switch to redo the last edit
operation.
SAVE.
When this LED is lit, it means that the current session
has been changed in some way. Press the SAVE switch,
and the SAVE LED will flash as if to ask “are you sure ?”
Press the SAVE switch a second time to save the ses-
sion file. The SAVE LED will turn off. While the SAVE
LED is flashing, you can press the ESC switch to abort
the save, and the SAVE LED will light solid again.
