Panasonic WR-DA7 Application Manual page 10

When the DA-98 or 38 is the wordclock master, the slot where the WR-TDIF card is inserted can be
selected as the wordclock source, in addition to the above-mentioned WCK IN. For WR-DA7 word-
clock setting, press the D-I/O switch several times to display the INPUT SET screen of the D-I/O
window. Then, select the SOURCE SELECT to the SLOT where the WR-TDIF card is installed.
The sampling rate settings for the DA-98, 88, 38 is dependent on the format of the tape being
used. Therefore, the sampling rate is automatically selected according to the sample rate on the
tape.
When the WR-DA7 is the wordclock master, the BNC cable should be connected from the WORD
CLOCK OUT terminal of the WR-DA7 to the WORD SYNC IN terminal of the DA-98 or 38. Select
WORD by pressing the CLOCK switch on the front panel of the DA-98 or 38.
When Connecting a DA-88 the WR-DA7 must function as the slave unit.
MIDI
For MMC control from the WR-DA7 to the DA-98, select Menu Group 3 in the DA-98 screen and
select the Ctrl Prt (Control Protocol) to 'MIDI.'
For the MIDI ID of MMC being received on the DA-98, select Menu Group 7 in the DA-98 screen
and set the MIDI ID to the same number of the MIDI channel of the MMC to be sent from the WR-
DA7.
For SY-88 Sync board setting, set the MODE dip switch 2 on the rear panel at 0 (OFF) so that con-
trol from external equipment can be accomplished through the MIDI port.
Timecode
When playing back the timecode recorded on the tape from the DA-98, select Menu Group 5 in
the DA-98 screen and set Tape (ABS) with OutTc Src.
To generate the MTC output from the DA-98, select Menu Group 7 on the DA-98 screen and set
the output to 'ON' with MTC Out. To generate the MTC output while the DA-98 is in FF/REW oper-
ation, set fast to 'ON.' To generate the MTC output when the DA-98 is stopped, set Stop to 'ON.'
To generate the timecode output from the DA-98 in synchronization with the digital audio data,
select Menu Group 5 in the DA-98 screen and set 'Digital' with OutTc Tmg.
When an SY-88 Sync board is installed in the DA-88, it is possible to generate SMPTE timecode and
MTC (MIDI timecode) from the DA-88.
For proper SY-88 Sync board setting, set the MODE dip switch 6 on the rear panel to 1 (ON) so
that the timecode recorded on the tape of the DA-88 can be converted to MTC.
If the MODE dip switch 6 is set to 0 (OFF), the timecode received in the TIME CODE IN terminal
of the DA-88 is then outputted after being converted to MTC.
To generate timecode from the DA-88 in synchronization with the digital audio data set the MODE
dip switch 5 on the SY-88's real panel to 0 (OFF).
