S YNCHRONIZING OTHER EQUIPMENT TO THE DA-78HR USING SMPTE
The easiest way to do this is to simply derive SMPTE from the ABS time encoded on the tape. Using this method saves the time
required to stripe SMPTE on tape and allows the flexibility of changing frame rates as needed.
T O SET THE DA-78HR TO OUTPUT SMPTE FROM ABS:
Press the SHIFT key so the indicator lights.
1.
Press the MENU key until the display shows TC.
2. Press the SUB MENU key until the display shows TAPETC.
3. After a moment the display will change to show the currently selected TC source: ABS or TC Track. Use the UP and DOWN
ARROWS to select ABS.
4.
If you are synchronizing a sequencer to the DA-78HR you need to connect a cable from the TC OUT jack on the DA-78HR to
your MIDI interfaces SMPTE TC INPUT jack. Make sure your sequencer is set to read SMPTE time code in “SLAVE MODE.” Your
sequencer must also have the proper frame rate and start time to match the location you want to be working with on the tape.
T O SET THE SMPTE FRAME RATE ON THE DA-78HR:
1. Press the MENU key until the display reads SYSTEM
2. Press the SUB MENU key until the display briefly reads TIME MODE, The display will now read TMD xxx
3. Use the UP and DOWN ARROWS to choose TC (Time code)
4. Press the MENU key until the display briefly reads TC.
5. It will then briefly read FRM MODE (Frame mode) and finally settle on SYS .xxxx.
6. Use the UP and DOWN ARROWS to choose the appropriate SMPTE frame rate
