To use Quick Record mode, you must connect a deck that supports servo-lock signals to the
system by using a deck control serial cable and a serial adapter. For information about the cable
connection, see the setup information that came with your system.
If the appropriate conditions for Quick Record are not present, the messages in the following
table might appear. The second column recommends what you can do to be ready for the Quick
Record mode.
To use Quick Record mode:
1. Select Tools > Capture.
The Capture tool opens.
2. Click the Toggle Source button until the Deck Capture icon appears.
3. Click the Deck Selection pop-up menu, and select your deck.
See “Setting Up the Capture Tool” on page 158.
4. Click the Servo Lock Mode button.
A check mark appears in the button and the Toggle Source button changes to the Quick
Record Mode icon.
5. When the “Waiting for Servo Lock” message appears in the message area of the Capture
tool, press the deck’s Play button.
The system starts capturing when the deck is in servo lock and stops capturing when the
deck is not in servo lock (for example; stopped, rewinding, or shuttling).
