The audio fi le, however, is stamped with a 29.97 ND frame rate, along the 48 kHz sampling rate. It
will appear as if the fi le was originally recorded at a 48 kHz sampling rate at a TC rate of 29.97 ND.

on playback, file appears at 48 k, 29.97 ND

Fostex DV40

When using fi les recorded in the 48.048kF mode in with a DV40 with early software, set the DV40
time code frame rate to 29.97ND. Time code stamps will properly match the original time code start
times.

47.952k and 47.952kF

Both 47.952 and 47.952kF settings use a record sampling rate of 47.952 kHz, 0.1% lower than 48 kHz.
The 47.952kF mode, however, identifi es the fi le as being recorded at 48 kHz. Additionally there are
two frame rate options in 47.952kF mode. The time code frame rate can be set to 23.97 while the fi le
is identifi ed as 24ND or it can be set to 29.97ND while the fi le is identifi ed as 30ND. By default, when
47.952kF mode is selected the frame rate is changed to 29.97ND and identifi ed as 30ND unless the
Frame Rate was already set to 23.97 in which case it will remain at 23.97.

96.096k and 96.096kF

Both 96.096 and 96.096kF settings use a record sampling rate of 96.096 kHz, 0.1% higher than 96 kHz.
The 96.096F mode is a rarely used workfl ow and should only be selected if specifi cally requested by
production. It is essentially the high sampling rate version of 48048F mode. The takes are recorded at
96.096 kHz but are stamped at 96 kHz. Additionally, in 96.096F mode, the time code rate is restricted
to 30ND, while the fi le is identifi ed as 29.97ND. It is important to note that most productions will not
accept fi les at 96 kHz rates.

Time Code Modes

The 788T includes the following time code modes:

Off

The time code generator is disabled. The front panel time code display is blank.

Free Run:

The internal time code generator runs continuously without regard to the Record mode. Any time
code value can be used as the start value by “jamming value” in the jam menu.

Record Run

The time code generator runs only when the 788T is recording. Time code in this mode defaults to
00:00:00:00 at power-up. When switching to Record Run from another mode, the internal generator
will stop at the last number generated. A user-defi ned value can be jammed into the internal genera-
tor from the jam menu.
