9.4.3 Timecode track mapping

This function is related to the track mapping

function described above. Analog track 3 in the
controller mapping is traditionally used as the
timecode track. To map this track to the audio
track selected above (see 9.4.2, “Track mapping
functions”)
or to the dedicated timecode track of
the DA-98:

1) From menu group 6, move the cursor to

TC

Rec EN

, and press

SELECT

:

2) Use the

UP

and

DOWN

keys to select the

appropriate setting for each connected DTRS
unit.

Selecting

disable

here means that the track

referred to by the controller’s commands as “ana-
log 3” will be the DTRS track designated as “ana-
log 3” in the table above (9.4.2, “Track mapping
functions”
). Selecting

enable

means that the

DA-98’s dedicated timecode track will be con-
trolled by commands addressed by the controller
to the “analog 3” track.

9.4.4 Remote track arming

It is sometimes useful to be able to disable

track arming of a DA-98 unit from a remote con-
troller, especially when that controller is a video
editor which only allows for the arming and con-

trol of four tracks. Accordingly, you can disable
the remote arming of tracks on a DA-98 unit (they
can still be armed from the unit itself). See section
11.1.8 of the DA-98 manual for full details of this
function.

1) From menu group 3, move the cursor to

Trk

Arm

(track arming) and press

SELECT

:

2) Use the

LEFT

and

RIGHT

cursor keys to move

between machines, and the

UP

and

DOWN

keys to enable or disable track arming from
remote controllers.

9.4.5 Device emulation

The DA-98 can emulate a variety of other

devices, for example video recorders, etc., when
controlled by an editor (i.e. this setting determines
the way in which the DA-98 responds to a Device-
ID request).

See section 11.1.2 of the DA-98 manual for full
details regarding this function.

1) From menu group 6, move the cursor to

Eml

Dev

(emulation device) and press

SELECT

:

2) Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the device

to be emulated from the following list:

PCM-7050

BVH-3000

BVU-950

BVW-75

PCM-800

BVH-2000

DVR-10

TASCAM

TASCAM

is the native format of the DA-98, and

should be selected if you do not need to emulate
any other device from this list.

9.4.6 Recording delay

When a DA-98 is remotely controlled by an

editor, it is sometimes useful to be able to program
a delay in recording, in order to emulate a VCR,
