03D with Video Machine & DA-88

This application shows how the 03D can be used with a video machine and Tascam DA-88
for audio post-production and audio sweetening. Using only the SMPTE timecode from the
video machine, the DA-88 can generate MTC for the 03D. The eight digital tape returns and
18 Mic/Line inputs provide up to 26 inputs.

Connections

The Tascam (CD8-TD) card must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws
out after installation as the card will not be grounded correctly.

The Tascam digital audio cable (PW-88DL) carries the eight tape sends and eight tape
returns.

YGDAI digital outputs can be configured as bus outs, aux sends, input channel direct
outs, or stereo outs. So although the 03D is a four-bus mixer, assigning the four buses
and four aux sends, or the channel direct outs, to the YGDAI outputs allows eight-track
simultaneous recording. YGDAI output assignments are made on the D.out Setup page,
which can be located using the [DIO] button.

YGDAI digital inputs feed 03D input channels 17 through 24.

The optional SY-88 Sync Board is required. The DA-88 has a dedicated timecode track
and can output SMPTE timecode or MTC. In addition, a timecode offset can be
specified on the DA-88, so the 03D automix start time can be adjusted. The DA-88 also
has the ability to re-stripe the timecode track.

The video house sync is connected to the Video In BNC connection on the DA-88.

03D Wordclock Setup

The 03D works as a wordclock slave. Any pair of YGDAI digital inputs can be selected as the
wordclock source. Use the [DIO] button to locate the D.in Setup page for wordclock
settings.

DA-88 Wordclock Setup

The DA-88 generates a wordclock signal referenced to the Video In signal (VIDEO). The
sampling rate is set when the DA-88 tape is formatted. This can be either 48 kHz or
44.1 kHz. After formatting, the sampling rate is determined by the formatted tape.

Notes

The DA-88 must be powered up even when it is not being used. Failure to do so may
cause an intermittent pumping noise on the 03D.

On the DA-88 rear panel, set the MACHINE ID to 0.

The optional Tascam SY-88 Sync Board, available from Tascam, must be installed to use
SMPTE timecode and MTC. To use the MTC function, the SY-88 firmware must be
version 3.08 or higher.

The rear panel of the SY-88 Sync Board has a DIP switch labeled MODE. Set DIP
switches 2 and 5 to ON (0). Set internal switch 8 on the SY-88 board marked S2 to ON.

On the Tascam (CD8-TD) card there is a DIP switch that should be set to 16-bit. This is
the initial setting, but you should confirm it. This switch is for use with Tascam High-Bit
recording applications.

Tascam 25-pin digital audio cables PW-88DL (5 m) and PW-88D (1 m) are available
from Tascam
