3 - System-wide options-OPTION screen SOLO TYPE There are three options that may be selected here: PFL (pre-fader listen), AFL (after- or post-fader listen) and INPLACE SOLO. Again, these are explained in more detail in the solo section, but briefly; the PFL option provides a way of listening to the signal before it is sent through the panpot and fader. The stereo outputs are unaffected (soloing is only done through the CR and STUDIO monitor outputs) An AFL selection will output the post-fader signal from the selected channels through the monitoring system. By contrast, soloing a channel in Inplace Solo mode monitors the soloed signal(s) via the stereo outputs while all the other signals are cut from the stereo outputs. SYNC/TC The following settings affect the timecode and synchronization settings (as can be selected for display on the top right of the screen, used for automation purposes as well as for location, etc.): The screen is split into two parts: the top part allows the selection of a timecode source for display. This displayed timecode may be the source used for automation synchronization (Sync Source) or another source of timecode (OTHERS). If Sync Source is selected, the source selected in the lower part of the screen to determine the automation synchronization source is displayed. The following options are available for the display of incoming timecode: DTRS Remote Timecode This is the timecode embedded in the REMOTE/SYNC output from a DTRS unit. The actual format and the relationship of this to the ABS time on the DTRS unit depends on the setup of the DTRS unit. If the ABS time is used as the timing source on the DTRS unit, ABS is shown INPLACE SOLO DEFEAT This option is a defeat option to prevent channels selected in this way from being muted when other channels are soloed. It can be used with a pair of effect returns, for instance, so that these effect returns will always be added in the inplace mix, together with those other channels selected for inplace soloing. Inplace soloing will output the soloed channel(s) from the stereo outputs, and cut all other channels. Use the cursor keys (or channel SEL key) to highlight a channel, and the ENTER key to change the status of the INPLACE SOLO DEFEAT setting. Alternatively, use the SEL keys of the modules for direct selection and de-selection of the channels (use ENTER to make the setting). at the top right of the DM-24 display (above the timecode value). If timecode is selected as the timing source on the DTRS unit, TC is shown on the top right of the display. NOTE A DTRS unit connected to the DM-24 through a card inserted in slot 1 or 2 cannot be used as a timecode display source in this way. RS-422 IN Timecode This refers to any timecode received through the RS-422. If this option is selected, TC is shown on the top right of the DM-24 display. TRA Target link This refers to the timecode from the currently selected transport target (as set up in the MIDI/MC settings Either TC or DTRS is shown on the top right of the screen if the transport target is a DTRS unit (as explained above), ABS if an ADAT is selected, MTC if the transport target is a closed MMC loop, and INT if the internal generator is selected as the transport target. If the transport target is a MMC closed loop device, this (MMC Closed) is highlighted on screen. Automation synchronization source Choose from the following options to select the automation synchronization timecode source: TC IN This refers to the analog linear timecode sig- nal received at the TC IN jack. If this option is selected, TC is shown on the top right of the DM-24 display. TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual 23
