02R with Pro Tools for Video Post
This application shows how the 02R can be used with a video machine and Pro Tools system
for audio post-production and audio sweetening. The 16 digital tape returns and 24
Mic/Line inputs provide up to 40 inputs. In addition, the 02R’s built-in automation and
scene memory systems provide both dynamic and static mix automation referenced to
SMPTE or MIDI timecode.
Two Digidesign 888 I/O Audio Interfaces connect the 02R to the Pro Tools system, with
special 50-pin Pro Tools cables between the computer cards and each 888. Two
custom-made D-sub to XLR break-out cables are used to connect the 25-pin connectors on
the CD8-AE-S cards to the 888s.
Pro Tools can be controlled remotely from the 02R V2 using the Pro Tools template of the
MIDI Remote function.
Connections
• The AES/EBU (CD8-AE-S) cards must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the
screws out after installation as the cards will not be grounded correctly.
• The Digital In/Out connectors on the 02Rs and 888s are connected together using
custom-made D-sub to XLR cables.
• The Pro Tools system is connected to 02R Slot [1] (tape inputs 1 through 8) and Slot
[2]
(tape inputs 9 through 16).
02R Wordclock Setup
The 02R works as a wordclock slave. On the DIGITAL I/O menu, set the wordclock source
to TAPE 1/2 (i.e., AES/EBU 1/2).
Pro Tools Wordclock Setup
The Pro Tools system should be configured as wordclock master.
Notes
• The D-sub <–> XLR break-out cable is not available from Yamaha, and should be
custom made.
• The slave clock (Super Clock) signal connected between Digidesign products is an
exclusive clock, with a sampling rate of Fs x 256.
