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