4. To enable synchronization using MTC or MIDI clock,
use [CURSOR] and the TIME/VALUE dial to set the
following parameters.
Gen. (Sync generator):
Select the type of synchronization data that will be
transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector. When using
synchronization data from the BR-1180/1180CD to
synchronize an external MIDI device, make settings so
that one of the following types of synchronization data is
transmitted.
OFF:
Synchronization signals will not be output.
MTC:
MIDI Time Code will be transmitted.
MIDI CLOCK:
Transmits MIDI clock based on the Rhythm Guide (p. 81)
tempo.
MTC Type:
On the BR-1180/1180CD, the following types of MTC can be
selected. Check the specifications of your MIDI sequencer,
and set the BR-1180/1180CD to the appropriate type of
MTC.
30:
30 frames per second non-drop format. This is used by
audio devices such as analog tape recorders, and for
NTSC format black and white video (used in Japan and
the U.S.).
29N:
29.97 frames per second non-drop format. This is used
for NTSC format color video (used in Japan and the U.S.).
29D:
29.97 frames per second drop format. This is used for
Synchronizing with MIDI devices
NTSC format broadcast color video (used in Japan and
the U.S.).
25:
25 frame per second frame rate. This is used for SECAM
or PAL format video, audio equipment, and film (used
in Europe and elsewhere).
24:
24 frame per second frame rate. This is used for video,
audio devices, and film in the US.
5. After you have completed the settings, press [EXIT]
repeatedly to return to the top screen.
6. When using MTC, set the MIDI sequencer so that it is
synchronized externally with MTC; when using MIDI
clock, set the MIDI sequencer so that it is synchronized
externally with MIDI clock.
7. Prepare your MIDI sequencer to play back MIDI song
data.
When the BR-1180/1180CD begins playing, the MIDI
sequencer will also begin playing in sync with it.
Non-Drop Format and Drop Format
Two types of format are used by NTSC-format VCR's:
non-drop and drop. With the non-drop format, the
frames are continuous. On the other hand, in order to
support NTSC color video, the drop format drops the
first two frames of every minute excluding minutes 10,
20, 30, 40, and 50.
In most video and audio production, since formats with
continuous frames are easier to deal with, non-drop is
generally used. In contrast, in situations such as in
broadcast, where the time code must match actual clock
time, drop is used.
