●
24 (24 frames/second)

25 (25 frames/second)
●
29.97 (29.97 frames/second, non-drop)
●

MTC message output is based on recorder time information.
When using MTC to synchronize MIDI devices, the HD8/
HD16 always functions as MTC master. Set up the other
device to operate as MTC slave which receives MTC messages
and functions accordingly.
An example for synchronizing the HD8/HD16 with a
sequencer is shown below.
