MX-2424 I/OOPTIONS

• RC-2424 REMOTE CONTROL

Designed to perfectly complement the MX-2424, theoptional RC-2424 remote control features the familiar front-panel layout of the MX-2424. There are dedicated keys for editing features, including capturing and auditioningin/out points for edits, with eight macros for storingcommonly-used keystroke sequences. Status LEDs providevisual feedback of input status, channel overload, record and selected mode for all 24 channels, together withgeneral information about sample rate, time code, recordmode, lock and sync.

The RC-2424 can control up to six MX-2424 recordersdirectly, with dedicated buttons to access each recorder, or can control more recorders by stacking more than onerecorder on each button. This makes for an exceptionallyflexible system.

• MX-VIEW GRAPHICAL EDITING INTERFACE

Designed specifically for the MX-2424, the MX-View is agraphical editing interface for both Macs and PCs,comparable to many digital audio workstations. Not onlydoes it enable sample-level waveform editing, click and poprepair using the pencil tool, audio drag and drop editing andreal-time crossfades, it also replicates thefront panel features of the MX-2424recorder, providingcomplete editingcontrol. The MX-Viewis fully customisable,with transport, locatemarkers and meterpositions storable asuser preferences. Colour-coded edit groups make editingacross multiple tracks far simpler, with 100 named locationpoints for fast audio searching. The MX-View uses the100Mbit Ethernet interface to transfer audio files to andfrom a computer, enabling storage of files or entire projects.The MX-View also acts as a central interface, since up to sixMX-2424 recorders can be displayed and edited on the samescreen simultaneously, with 24-track meters monitoring levels.
