2) Incoming timecode will be displayed on the
bottom line, together with the frame rate of the
timecode.
The EXT TC indicator will light when timecode is
received.

10.4.2 Timecode output

The timecode received at the

from the
TIME CODE OUT
When the DA-98 is the timecode master, the time-
code it outputs should be off tape.
However, when the DA-98 is in the middle of a
timecode chain, you will probably want to retrans-
mit the incoming timecode (the

NOTE
When the DA-98 is in CHASE mode, and the timecode
output has been set to
"TcTrack setting"
DA-98 will be the received timecode, with the offset
value added or subtracted from it. This means that any
other DTRS units slaved to the timecode output do not
need to have separate offset settings, but can use the
master DA-98's offset.

10.4.3 Timecode output format

This
which timecode is output when fast winding the
tape, or if shuttling is carried out at greater than
normal playback speed.
The setting means that timecode infor-
mation is not output continuously. Here, the DA-
98 reads the timecode from the tape as it is spool-
ing, outputs 5 consecutive frames at normal speed
starting with the value which has been read from
tape, then reads the tape again, outputs another 5
consecutive frames based on the new tape posi-
tion, and so on.
The setting means that timecode is output
continuously during fast operations, and will not
be contiguous (it will leap between frames).
The setting means that timecode is not out-
put during fast operations.

10.4.4 Timecode output timing

Because of the nature of the digital-to-analog con-
version, the timecode which is output from the
DA-98 must be synchronized to match the audio
timing from either the digital or the analog audio
