RS422 SLAVE - EAVESDROPPING MODE

In the EXT M/C SETUP page (SHIFT+EXT M/C), select EAVESDROP SLAVE in the
RS422 MODE field. You will see this screen:
You will see that F1/F2 show TRACK ASSIGN. Pressing this will show this screen:
A video edit controller will have track assignment keys (usually A1-A4) on it to determine
which tracks on the VTR the audio will be recorded to when an edit is performed. This
page allows you to set which tracks on the DD1500 will be used when tracks on the video
edit controller are selected.
The top line of the matrix shows the video edit controller's track select keys and below
those, you may assign the DD1500 tracks to those keys. For A1-A4, you may select
individual tracks 1 to 16 for mono edits and 1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8, 9+10,11+12, 13+14,
15+16 for stereo edits. You may also select tracks 1-4, 5-8, 9-12 and 13-16. Tracks 1-8
and 9-16 and also 1-16 may also be selected. When using A1, A2, A3 or A4 for your edit,
the tracks assigned in these fields will be selected on the DD1500m. No guidelines can be
given here - you must decide according to your video editing system and requirements.
The field D1-16 has just two states - ON or OFF. Some video edit controllers offer selection
of the VTR's digital audio tracks which are selected on the video edit controller itself by
way of keys labelled D1- n (where n is the highest number track available on the video edit
controller - e.g. D1-D16). These may be used to select tracks on the DD1500m (for
example, selecting to record on track D5 will cause track 5 to be selected on the
DD1500m).
NOTE: Although these track select keys on the video edit controller relate to the VTR's
digital audio tracks, on the DD1500m they simply select the track you will record onto with
no reference to digital or analogue. If you wish to record digitally on the DD1500m, this
must be set up in the usual way using the record setup page's input routing function.
