When set to INACTIVE, DigiCart/E can be taken “off-line” from the remote control bus and will not
respond to remote commands. To activate remote control, select an ADDRESS (1 - 32) to establish
communication between DigiCart/E and one of 360 Systems’ RC-series remote controls or an ES-Bus or
Peripheral Bus serial connection to an automation controller. Addresses 1 to 4 correspond to the four
machine control buttons on a 360 Systems RC-320 remote control. See Appendix B for ES-Bus or P-Bus
Serial Protocol documentation.

Utility Menu Features
The UTILITY MENU is used to manage Hot Keys, rename drives, directories, Playlists or cuts; and how to
copy them to different directories and drives. Also explained are the procedures for formatting and
renumbering Zip disks for use with DigiCart/E.
The following utilities are listed alphabetically in the DigiCart/E selection menu, but are presented here in a
different order for clarity of explanation.
A SSIGN H OT K EY (P RESET )
This utility allows assignment of a cut or Linear Playlist to a Hot Key on DigiCart/E, an RC-series Remote
Control, or to the letter keys of an alphanumeric keyboard. When assigned, the selection will play
immediately with a single keystroke. Hot Keys may only be assigned to cuts on hard disk drives (Non-Zip
drive IDs: 0.XXXX ), but may be either the local drive, or network drives.
Hot Key assignments created on network drives are available from anywhere on the network. For example,
you may choose to make a standard set of Hot Keys for all the edit studios working on the same production,
or you may make a personal Hot Key list that can be accessed in any studio.
• Cuts assigned to Hot Keys may be Dolby AC-2, WAV, or DigiCart linear format. The maximum number of
linear cuts is 16.
• Hot Keys are subject to the currently selected RESTART MODE. (i.e. IMMEDIATE or ON
COMPLETION).
• Contents of a directory may be mass assigned to Hot Keys by entering the UTILITY MENU'S ASSIGN HOT
KEY from the directory level.
• The alphanumeric keyboard's Scroll Lock must be ON to assign or play Hot Keys from the keyboard. Scroll
Lock may be ON or OFF to CLEAR HOT KEYS.
• It is not necessary to clear a Hot Key before reassigning it.
