This shows a basic DD1500 configuration for recording and editing sound to picture (in this
case, video). All recording is done digitally through the digital inputs A and B. Mastering
could be through the digital outputs MIX A and/or MIX B or, alternatively, through the
analogue monitor outputs on the DL1500. Mixing would be done internally using the
DD1500's digital mixer. Any size VGA monitor may be used and probably, in a small setup
such as this, something like a 14" or 17" screen would be sufficient.
Such a system would be ideal for assembling post sync sound effects digitally from CD or
for editing dialogue, music, foley, actuality, etc., recorded on DAT where an elaborate
external mixer may not be required.
Once the material is assembled, the disk could be transferred to a more complete system
for mixdown, etc., using a larger external mixer.
The DD1500m is connected to the DL1500 using the AKAINET link and a standard BNC
cable should be used. You may use the one provided but, if you need longer lengths, any
reputable computer store will be able to sell you a standard BNC cable in a variety of
lengths to suit your needs.
