BASICS - FRONT PANEL

Two levels of P2 operation

First of all the “every-day-use” where the less experienced user basically selects predefined presets and occasionally the Wizard that intelligently analyze program material and suggests compression settings for that particular material.

Secondly the “Administrators level” accessed only via the TC Icon Software Editor on PC. This is where Presets, I/O, Wizard, Lock and System settings are setup.

Note that; the Wizard can be locked by the Administrator via the TC Icon Editor.

Lock

Recall

• Press one of the eight keys to recall a preset.

Front Panel Presets:

The 8 Front Panel presets can be instantly recalled via the front panel preset keys. Recalling presets via the eight front-panel keys are total recalls. Both system parameters and preset settings are recalled.

These presets are created by the Administrator via the TC Icon Editor and are not edited in everyday use.

Wizard

A function used to optimize level based on an examination of a section of material.

Play programming material containing both high and low-level passages.

Press WIZARD to start the Wizard.

Press again after a period of time; 5-10 seconds.

The Wizard has now suggested optimal settings for your specific program material.

The Administrator can setup various lock functions/modes for the P2 via the System/ Front page in the TC Icon PC Editor. Setting up via the TC Icon Editor is explained later in the manual. This section merely lists the options. The Administrator sets up both how the Lock function can be activated/deactivated from the front panel, but also which functions that are locked once Lock is activated.

Lock Activation

Two modes are available for Lock activation/deactivation. These modes are defined and setup by the Administrator via the TC Icon PC Editor.

Hold mode: The Lock mode can be activated/ deactivated by pressing and holding the LOCK key for approx. 2.5 seconds.

Code mode:

The Lock mode can be activated by pressing the LOCK key for two seconds.

To unlock; the LOCK key must be pressed followed by entering a four digit code (within 5 seconds) using the eight front panel preset keys (1-8).

Separate codes for lock and unlock can be defined by the Administrator.

Lock Define

One of four Lock definitions can be selected via the editor by the Administrator.

Disable:

No lock function is available.

Lock Wizard:

Wizard function is disabled and cannot be activated via the front panel WIZARD key.
