Yamaha 02R & 03D Applications Guide
Fostex D-90 8-track Digital Recorder
The Fostex D-90 is a digital hard disk recorder featuring 8-track simultaneous recording
and playback and ADAT I/O as standard.
Fostex RD-8 Digital Multitrack Recorder
The Fostex RD-8 Digital Multitrack Recorder uses the same eight-track digital format as the
Alesis ADAT, making it fully compatible. Digital I/O, Sync I/O, and meter bridge
connections are also compatible with those of the ADAT. The RD-8 can be connected
directly to an 02R or 03D with an optional CD8-AT Digital I/O card. The RD-8 features an
on-board synchronizer for synchronization to a master recorder via timecode. Timecode
offset and MIDI Machine Control are supported. LTC can be recorded on a dedicated
timecode track. There are 100 locate points and variable pre and post roll times. Essentially,
the RD-8 is an ADAT with some of the features of the BRC Master Remote Control and AI-2
Multipurpose Audio/Video Synchronization Interface on-board.
JL Cooper Datasync-2 Synchronizer
The JL Cooper Datasync-2 Synchronizer is a relatively low cost synchronizer that can be
used to convert ADAT format sync to SMPTE timecode and MTC. It can be used to set up
a cost-effective, fully synchronized 02R or 03D and ADAT digital recording system.
Midiman Syncman Plus
The Midiman Syncman Plus is an SMPTE to MTC converter and MTC generator. Front
panel DIP switches are used to select the timecode type when working as a generator. For
SMPTE to MTC conversion the frame rate is detected and set automatically.
TASCAM DA-88 & DA-38 Digital Multitrack Recorders
The TASCAM DA-88 Digital Multitrack Recorder is an eight-track digital recorder that uses
8 mm video tape and a 4-head mechanism. It features 16-bit AD/DA converters and
44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sampling rates. A 120 minute tape provides a recording time of 108
minutes. Up to 16 DA-88s can be connected together for a fully synchronized, sample
accurate 128-track recording system. Digital I/O consists of a TASCAM TDIF-1 connector.
This can be connected directly to an 02R or 03D with an optional CD8-TDII Digital I/O
card. The TASCAM DA-38 is a lower-cost Digital Multitrack Recorder aimed at musicians,
and provides full compatibility with tapes recorded on the DA-88.
TASCAM SY-88 Sync Board
The optional TASCAM SY-88 Sync Board provides versatile synchronization facilities for
the TASCAM DA-88. It features on-board SMPTE and MIDI timecode generators, an
RS422 video editor connection, and video sync inputs. An SY-88 Sync Board is essential for
synchronization with 02R or 03D automation.
In a multiple DA-88 system, only the Control Master DA-88 needs to have an SY-88 Sync
Board installed. Control slaves do not need SY-88 Sync Boards. Also, only the tape used in
the Control Master DA-88 needs to be striped with timecode.
TASCAM MMC-38 Interface Unit
The optional TASCAM MMC-38 Interface Unit provides versatile synchronization facilities
for the TASCAM DA-38. It features on-board SMPTE and MIDI timecode generators, and
is essential for synchronization with 02R or 03D automation.
