Bi-Phase Setup - Akai DD1500 User Manual

BI-PHASE SETUP

Pressing F1 displays this screen:
In this page, you can set certain parameters that affect the bi-phase generator. The
parameters are:
MAXIMUM SPEED
TIME TO MAX SPEED
When using bi-phase, it is necessary to set the relative start of the film against the audio
on the DD1500. This is done by locating the film to the very first frame and then locating
the DD1500 to the start of the audio and pressing either of the RESYNC softkeys.
When the DD1500 is acting as a bi-phase master, RESYNC GEN this will reset the
DD1500's bi-phase generator to zero and from then on, the film player will count the bi-
phase pulses and all sync will be relative to that start point.
When the DD1500 is acting as a bi-phase slave, pressing RESYNC RCV will set an offset
and the DD1500 will count incoming bi-phase pulses and calculate its position accordingly.
To leave the BI-PHASE SETUP page, press EXIT. You will return to the main SYSTEM
SETUP page.

Different pieces of bi-phase film equipment are capable of
different rewind and fast forward speeds. This parameter
should be set to allow for the connected machine's
maximum rewind/fast forward speeds. The parameter can
be set from 1-30 times normal play speed. Please check
your film equipment when setting this as incorrect setting
may result in damage to the equipment or to the film or
tape.
This allows you to set how long it will take for the
connected equipment to reach its maximum rewind or fast
forward speed. The range is 0-10 seconds. Please check
your film equipment and ensure that a sensible value is set
here as damage to your film equipment could result.
