require professional remotes. But
we went far beyond just transport
controls and record arm buttons
when we designed our Remote 48.
It fully duplicates the entire front
panel of our HDR24
Editor and MDR24
— including LCD and LED dis­plays, all function buttons and entry
keypad.

n fact, the Remote 48 adds fea­tures including a weighted jog/

shuttle wheel, additional Locate
Time display, 10 keypad and more.

RECORD SAFE disarms all tracks and disables

all recording controls. When enabled,
Record Safe prevents you from arming
tracks and entering record.

AUTO INPUT is used for record ing, and affect s

only armed tracks. When Auto Input is
On, all armed tracks monitor their inputs
except in Play, where tape playback is mon­itored. When Off, armed tracks always
monitor their inputs.

ALL INPUT is most often used for rehearsal

and level setting. When All Input is On,
both armed and unarmed tracks monitor
their inputs, and Auto Input has no effect.
When All Input is Off, output monitor­ing is determined by Auto Input.

JOG gives precise control over Transport

cueing by playing audio both forwards and
back wards at non real-time speeds in pro­portion to how the Wheel is rotated. Jog
play speed varies continuously between 0x
and 1x of normal play speed.

SHUTTLE allows you to play audio both for-

wards and backwards at non real-time
speeds in proportion to how far the Wheel
is rotated. Shuttle play speed is quantized
to 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4,1/2, 1x, and 2x the normal
play speed.

LOCK OUT disables user input from all soft-
