Remote Controllers for the TASCAM MMR-8

TASCAM MM-RC The TASCAM MM-RC is a dedicated remote control unit designed specially for

use with the MMR-8 and the MMP-16 sixteen channel player unit. It connects to a

special remote connector on the UI/B card on the back of the MMR and MMP

units. This remote allows complete control of all attached functions of the MMR

and MMP units, including all setup menus. It also allows for machine grouping as

well as system wide control of all attached units. A total of up to 100 units (any

combination of MMR and MMP) can be controlled from the MM-RC.

Lynx KCU The TimeLine Lynx Keyboard Control Unit (KCU) is a tabletop controller which is

typically used in conjunction with Lynx 2 synchronizer modules. It provides a time

code display, motion control functions (including a jog/shuttle Wheel), track

selections, and audio editing functions for most professional video and audio

transports. The KCU can remotely control the operation of a total of up to six

transports including MMR-8s. When used with the KCU 900 software, the Lynx

KCU unit allows control of the following MMR functions:

• Transport Control

• Track Record Arm/Select

• Slip Track/Region

• Undo/Redo

• Goto Prev/Next Edit

• Goto Head/Tail

• Clear/Paste

The Lynx KCU may be directly connected to either of the two integrated Lynx

ports on the MMR back panel. The second Lynx connector provides a loop thru

connection to an external Lynx module for control of other devices from the KCU.

The TimeLine Lynx KCU is available from:

Keyboard Operation (with MM-RC option)

The optional MM-RC (Remote Control unit) has a keyboard connector located on the rear panel which

accepts a standard PC-AT style keyboard. The purpose of the keyboard is to facilitate selecting menu

items while in the Setup Mode and to make it easier to name Projects and Tracks. There is no way to

connect a keyboard directly to the MMR or MMP – this must be done using the MM-RC.

Note: The internal software of the MM-RC will be automatically updated when an MMR-8 or MMP-16 is

booted while attached to the MM-RC. Be sure the power switch of the MM-RC is on while the

MMR/MMP unit is started so the unit can sense the presence of the MM-RC remote.
