M-Audio Mac Syncman [9/24] Dip switch descriptions

connected directly to your modem. Because of this unique serial

Thru feature, you do not have to unplug and re-plug cables to

switch between the MIDI interface and your modem.

16. Serial In - printer port. This will normally be connected to the

printer serial port on your Mac. The Mac Syncman sends and

receives MIDI over either or both serial ports.

17. Serial Out - printer port. This will normally be connected to your

printer. When the printer Serial Thru switch on the front panel is

Out, the Mac Syncman is bypassed and the Mac is connected direct-

ly to your printer. Because of this unique serial Thru feature, you do

not have to unplug and re-plug cables to switch between the MIDI

interface and your printer.

18. Power Supply Jack. 9 to 12 volt dc, wall mount supply.

Dip-Switch Descriptions

Frames (SMPTE Format). When Mac Syncman is in SMPTE Mode

(i.e. when the Off/MTC switch is Down), these dip-switches allow

you to select the SMPTE format that Mac Syncman will write to and

read from tape. All standard SMPTE formats are supported includ-

ing 24, 25, and 30 frames per second, and Drop Frame. If the Mac

Syncman Off/MTC switch is up, these Frame switches are ignored.

The Frame Switch positions and corresponding SMPTE formats are

as follows:

The most commonly used SMPTE format is 30 Frames. To set the

Mac Syncman to 30 Frames both of the Frame switches should be

down.

Off/MIDI Time Code Switch (Off/MTC). This Switch would nor-

mally be set to MTC (Down). Mac Syncman is in SMPTE Mode

whenever the Off/MTC switch is Down. Mac Syncman cannot read

or write SMPTE when this switch is Up. We recommend that you

leave the Off/MTC switch DOWN.

Direct Lock/MIDI Time Code Switch (DTL/MTC). This Switch
