Reference Manual
24 Track Digital Recorder

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Fostex D2424. The D2424 is a digital recorder using a 3.5 inch E-IDE
hard disk recording media for recording/playback/editing in 24 real tracks plus 32 additional tracks.
In addition to non-compression recording at quantization 16 bit/44.1kHz or 48kHz, 24 bit/44.1kHz
or 48kHz, 24 bit/88.2kHz or 96kHz, the D2424 is also equipped with adat input/output (by switch-
ing from S/P DIF).
Besides analog simultaneous record/playback, because it also complies with digital recording (S/P
DIF or adat) using DATA input/output and simultaneous recording of analog input plus digital input
(S/P DIF or adat), a full digital recording system can be built by combining the D2424 with various
digital mixers.
In regards to save/load of song data, in addition to using adat digital signals and S/P DIF digital
signals, high speed backup of FDMS-3 Ver. 3.0/WAV file through the standard feature SCSI connec-
tor, is also possible.
Furthermore, by installing an optional Model 9044 (BAY+CADDY), an E-IDE hard disk for backup or
the optional Model 9046 (DVD-RAM drive) can be installed enabling high speed backup of FDMS-3
Ver. 3.0/WAV files.
For optional units, Model 8345 TC/SYNC card and the Model 8350 AES/EBU card are available and
these will also comply to phasing of the standard feature WORD clock and also phasing against slave
control by external LTC and VIDEO reference signals. Send/receive of 24 bit/96kHz digital signals
by adat input/output, normally not permissible, will also be possible.
Please carefully read through this manual together with the separate "Quick Reference Guide" for
long and satisfying operation of this equipment.
