delay in frames.
This is the time that the DA-98 should delay
between receiving a record command and actually
starting to record.
This value can be between

on the emulation selected, as shown below:

The delay is calculated in the following way: the
first frame boundary of the video signal received
at the after the record command is
VIDEO IN
received is counted as"1". This number is incre-
mented as subsequent frames are received, and
when it equals the record delay value as set above,
recording starts.
If the value is set to
on receipt of the command, and if to , when the
first frame edge is received.
If no correct video sync signals are being received,
or if video sync mode is not enabled for some rea-
son, internal data frame timing (every 30ms) is
used instead.
This delay is also used for controlling the timing of
the monitor switching.

Some controllers will only take their next action
when they know that the controlled slaves are
stopped. Select the
controllers.
Other controllers (e.g. the LYNX II and MicroL-
ynx synchronizers) make a distinction between
pause and stop. When using such synchronizers,
select the value.

11.1.5 Fast wind speed

There are two basic methods for locating used by
controllers. The first method is to send a locate
command. The second is to send fast wind and
shuttle commands.
If the usual high speed winding of the DA-98 is
used with the second method, the tape will almost
invariable overshooot each time and never come to
rest. For that reason, you can select between the
fast wind modes (at 100 times play speed) and fast
shuttle (8 times play speed) depending on the
method used by your controller.
