- 56 -024 Relock ThresholdAutomatic (default)1/3 frame1 frame2 frames5 frames10 framesThis menu determines the size of the error between the MX and themaster which must be detected before a “relock” will take place [seeabove]. In the “Automatic” mode, the threshold is set to 1/3 frame forLTC chase and 10 frames for MTC chase.Note: If menu “023 Chase Relock” has inhibited the relock action,and if the lock error has exceeded the threshold specified in thismenu, then the front panel “CHASE LOCK” LED will flash toindicate that condition.Lock Error DisplayA new lock error display has been installed which will show the amount of deviation of the MX’sposition from that of the LTC or MTC chase master. The format of the display is:ERR 00:00:00:00If the MX is not specifically chasing LTC or MTC then this display will show all zero’s. However, if theMX is chasing and locked, but with the “relock” function disabled, then this “ERR” display is useful formonitoring the current amount of drift.The ERR display is accessed from the front panel by pressing Shift + ONLINE, and from the RC-2424 bypressing Shift + LOOP. (Circumstances did not permit the use of the same keystrokes in bothenvironments.) It is neither necessary nor prohibited to preceed these keystrokes with the RCL key.Timecode Lock Deviation display added to Edit & Transport Windows(MX-View)A new lock error display has been added to the edit menu machine info bar which will show the amountof deviation of the MX’s position from that of the LTC or MTC chase master. The chasing MX must beselected as the current transport focus in the Transport window. If the MX is not specifically chasingLTC or MTC then this display will show all zeros. However, if the MX is chasing and locked, but withthe "relock" function disabled, then this display is useful for monitoring the current amount of drift. Notethat when chase locked, a yellow circle with the letter "L" is displayed in the timecode display of thechasing machine in the Transport window.When the MX determines that drift is excessive, it will begin to flash the "CHASE LOCK" LED on thechasing MX's front panel. This can also now be seen as the chase lock indicator flashes in the TransportWindow.
