The SR Series remote controls have been designed using experience gained from the MR series remote control system. Designed as a stand alone controller or to be used with a Digital Audio Work-stations the SR serial remotes make cost effective ergonomic solutions.

Although the user can control only one machine at a time from the remote both the record and un-record commands are global so that multiple machines may be controlled simultaneously using the internal 9-pin synchroniser or using the built in chase feature of modern machines.

SR-3

The SR-3 may be used with a Digital Audio Work-station or Video Editor to provide control of up to 3 machines from one serial port. The record tracks are mapped so that the Serial input may have up to 64 record tracks. The timecode input enables the SR-3 to act as a timecode to serial converter.

PARALLEL INPUT/OUTPUT

There are 6 CMOS parallel inputs and 6 TTL parallel outputs provided. Currently used as machine control and tallies and General Purpose Trigger Outputs.

RECORD ENABLE

Eight record ready switches and a bank switch are provided, these are switched with the machine selects and provide access to up to 48 tracks on each machine.

MACRO KEYS

Any of the 50 user functions provided may be assigned to one of the 9 macro keys. The user functions include Dat specific functions such as PNO renumber, id write, id read. video specific commands such as assemble or insert, ADR keys (Next Loop, Prev Loop, Join, Insert), or system commands such as instant replay, instant record, Mark. Continual user feedback ensures that more functions are provided on a regular basis.

Added note 2003

With the development of the RM-6 rack mounted unit we are able to move most of the electronics from the controller to the machine room. The SR-4 may be used with a single RS-422 connection to control the RM-6. Whilst the existing SR-24 may also be used as a remote control for the RM-6 the separate Display box made it expensive. The new SR-424 is our solution, it may be used as a remote for the RM-6 in the same way but with 24 track arm keys.

The rear panel of the SR-424 is the same as the SR-4, this allows the SR-424 to be used as a stand alone unit with extra track arm keys. We are also looking at an ADR version of the SR-424 for the future.
