Changing Settings
Once you have navigated to the appropriate menu, the left
and right arrow keys are used to change settings. In order
to make changed settings active, exit the Settings Menu
display mode and return to Operation display mode.
When the SyncStation is connected to Nuendo, mak-
!
ing changes to settings via the front panel may create
conflicts with the settings made within Nuendo.
Resetting the SyncStation from
Nuendo
In a situation where you need to reset the SyncStation
hardware, you can do so from the SyncStation Settings
pop-up window by pressing the Reset Hardware button in
the Hardware Unit section. This will reboot all the Sync-
Station's systems except the USB driver and LCD screen.
This reset will maintain the USB connection to Nuendo so
restarting the application is not necessary after a reset.
The Reset Hardware button
If for some reason, the USB bus and LCD need to be re-
set, press the Reset button on the front panel, see

The SyncStation 9-Pin window in
Nuendo
On the Devices menu in Nuendo, there is a "SyncStation
9-Pin" option. It opens a window that provides direct ma-
chine control over the SyncStation and devices connected
to its MIDI and RS422 Out ports.
Transport controls in this window are used to remotely
control a RS422 device, MIDI Machine Control device or
the internal Virtual Master. Pressing the Online button
connects the transport controls to the remote device, al-
lowing you to control its transport functions.
The track arming buttons put record tracks on the remote
device into record status. Each button will light red when a
track is in record.
Auto-Edit
Most VTRs support Auto-Edit mode where the deck will
automatically enter record on record-enabled tracks at a
given timecode value and stop recording at another time-
code value. The record in and out points are defined by
the left and right locators in Nuendo.
When sync is engaged in Nuendo's transport panel, re-
cording commands will be routed to the record arming des-
tination device. If that device is a VTR that supports auto-
edit, the deck will enter record at the left locator and stop
recording at the right locator. This facilitates automatic lay-
back of audio to specific timecode values on the VTR.

The SyncStation Status window in
Nuendo
The SyncStation Status window in Nuendo is available
"Reset
from the Devices menu. It duplicates the status LEDs of the
SyncStation front panel and features a Varispeed indicator
and two status lines that display the current state of both
the SyncStation and Nuendo. An "H" on the Frame indica-
tor is shown if the SyncStation is receiving an HD video
signal. A question mark on any of the indicators means that
the corresponding LED on the SyncStation is flashing.
Various messages regarding the status of the SyncStation
will be displayed here including precision alignment
changes and generator lock status.
