Abbreviations
and Terms	Definitions
LCD	Liquid Crystal Display. The twenty character by two line display used on the
	MMR-8 to display time code, Setup Menus, or machine status.
LED	Light Emitting Diode. Front panel indicators used to identify machine or key status.
Local	When the MMR-8 is Off-line it is said to be in local mode.
Locate	Jumps the MMR-8 (and any controlled machines) to a new time code location
	using the LOC key and one of the registers or memories.
Loop	Plays the project between the In and Out time code points according to the
	Loop Mode setting selected in Setup Menu 110.
LTC	Longitudinal Time Code. Time code that is recorded on audio tape or using one
	of the audio tracks or the control track on videotape.
Lynx	TimeLine’s machine controller interface bus that is compatible with the
	MMR-8, Lynx-2 Interface, the KCU, and Micro Lynx controllers.
Lynx Master	The Lynx device that is the master for the Lynx bus. If one or more MMR-8s
	are tied to the Lynx bus only one can be the master on the Lynx bus.
Lynx Sync	The Lynx bus frame clock.
Machine	Any audio, video or film playback device.
Machine	Remote control commands for positional control and operational control of a
Control	device. In the case of the MMR-8, machine control commands can come from
	the MIDI input, the Lynx or MMR buses, the Editor input or the parallel remote
	input.
Master	The device that is in positional control of one or more slave devices.
MIDI	Musical Instrument Digital Interface. A serial data connection originally used
	to communicate key and voice parameters between music synthesizers. The
	MMR-8 will respond to MMC (MIDI Machine Commands) but will ignore any
	other signals transmitted on the MIDI bus.
MMR Bus	An asynchronous bus that ties multiple MMR-8s together to relay motion
	control commands and timing references from the master machine to the slave
	machines. The MMR bus supports up to four Sync Groups with their own
	timing references and motion control commands.
MMR Master	The MMR-8 that is in control of a particular Sync Group on the MMR bus.
Mixdown	The process of bringing together the multiple tracks of dialogue, FX, Foley,
	and music to create a finished soundtrack for a film or video production.
