What is needed for a total recall system?
« on: October 01, 2017, 04:01:36 AM »
Hey all!

Getting close to picking my console up.

Super stoked.

I've found someone local looking to sell a totally refurbished total recall computer.

My console is only set up for vca recall.

What's involved in adding the total recall computer? To make it work with an ssl 4000 that originally didn't have total recall?

of the top of my head:
- tr card for ever channel with all ribbons + a wire link on the motherboard needs to be changed.

- multiplexer card in the keyboard assembly (should be fitted already on most, but i think there are some really early non-tr keyboards)

- tr/video distribution card for the computer rack

- rgbs cable (4x bnc) and a screen (that can handle rgbs)

Cool.. so a lot of stuff... :)

Other than the Multiplexer and video distribution... which im assuming MIIIIGHT be able to be found..
its probably impossible to load up, as im assuming no one takes out the TR card for the channels....

not a lot of stuff, a huge amount of stuff and implementation.

buy a board with it in it. It'll be cheaper in the long (and short) run
and it'll get done.

and I never really saw many people really use it much, if you were doing recalls for a *really* important session, yes it could be needed, but how often does that really happen in reality?

Very true.
I was just looking at the price tag. One for sale for 2k. Computer only tho. I'd add it for 2k if it were easy.

Apparently 2k gets me no where.  Hahaha.

Old school. Recall sheet and apprentices I guess. :)

  Not to mention the cpu in the SSL comp is aging and is bound to fail sooner rather than later if you can find one thats reliable to start. The new automation systems by Tangerine have an add on that works with ios. Pretty cool but spendy and you would need to have the multiplexers on your channels for it to work.
