10-3 TIMECODE
OUT SELECT
ABS Time To Timecode
Conversion
Facility
:
This makes it possible to slave the DA-88 to external
timecodes without pre-striping timecode.
The ABS time can be converted into any type of timecode
that the SY-88 supports. The OO:O~OOzOO point of ABS
time becomes the OOzOOzOO:OO point of timecode. When
selecting
the 24, 25 or 30 fps format,
the ABS time
numbcn match exactly with the timecode numbers all the
time (except the frame numbers),
But in the 29.97 fps
format code numbers will not match; in the case of the
2Y.Y7 Non-Drop
frame code, it will read 5Y minutes, 56
seconds when the ABS time counts up to 1 hour, and the
discrepancy will increw
with continuing time.
-
The converted timecode is sat
out of the TIME CODE
OUT jack the same as with timecodes
read off tape or
produced by the timecode generator.
Advantages of this facility :
As said above, thwc is oo need for you to stripe
timecode
in order to sync DA-88's up to external
timecodes,
Under some conditions,
offsets will be
necessary
and these will be entered
between
the
master and DA-88 timecode numbers.
When work tapes copied from the same video tape are
used as mater
tapes for audio sweetening
in multiple
studios,
and where
DA-88s
a.re used
as slave
machines, the final mixdown can be achieved simply
by syncing DA-88s underABS
time control.
To convert
the ABS time into timecodes,
proceed
as
follows.
I. Access the Playback T/C menu. It will look like this :
2. Press + or-The
LTC will change to ABS
For the TIME CODE OUT jack to carry timecode
