ANALOG OUTPUT BALANCED [+4dBu] Necessary setting (RS422 SETUP menu) To control the DV824 from an external video editor, etc., you must make necessary settings via the "RS422 SETUP" menu of the MENU mode by following the procedure below. While the unit is stopped, press the [ENTER/YES] key to enter the MENU mode.
The sync play functions. The unit locks to the incoming video reference. Editor preset setting You can preset the DV824 to work with an editor in the best condition by setting this item appropriately. Use the [MENU] dial to select between "Video" and "Lynx" and press the [ENTER/ YES] key to confirm your selection.
By connecting the [ETHERNET] port on the DV824 to your personal computer using a LAN cable, the DV824 acts as an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server, allowing trans- ferring audio file data between the DV824 and your personal computer via TCP/IP.
Connecting DV824 directly to PC The following procedure shows how to connect the DV824 directly to a PC, without connecting to LAN. It is assumed that the DV824 is connected to the PC using a cross cable. Set the items in the "TCP/IP SETUP" menu of the DV824 MENU mode as below (see page 76 for details).
Before transferring a file, set "Mode" to "Auto" and "Format" to "RawData". Connecting DV824 to LAN To connect the DV824 to a LAN, use a straight cable to connect the DV824 to a hub. For details about FTP application setting, see "Connecting DV824 directly to PC" de- scribed above.
After completing editing, press the [ENTER/YES] key to confirm the setting. • Sub net mask setting The "Sub net mask" item sets the sub net mask value in the network DV824 exists. In the case the Sub net mask is not used, you do not have to set this value.
By selecting "Anonymous" and pressing the [ENTER/YES] key, the current setting is shown (by default, "On"). While the DV824 is connected to a PC and used as an FTP server, if "Anonymous" is set to "On", you do not need to set the login name and password.
Click on "OK" in the "Session Properties" dialog box. You can now see the DV824 drive (and the partitions of the optional hard disk drive if it is installed) in the right window, as below. Click on the desired drive.
Page 79
As shown in the window example below, audio files recorded in the selected partition are shown under the Info. folder. You can now transfer an audio file from the DV824 to the PC or vice versa. • Transferring an audio file from the DV824 to the PC Highlight an audio file in the right window (for the DV824) and click on "<-".
Time code recording/playback Recording time code By installing the optional TC/SYNC card (Model 8348) to the DV824, you can record time code generated by the internal TC generator along with audio signals, or record incoming external time code. Furthermore, you can record internal generator time code which jams to external time code.
Using the jam function, even if time code connection is cut after lock is achieved, the DV824 time code generator can run with extreme accuracy (its own crystal accu- racy). Therefore, the DV824 can stripe time code in sync with the separated external machine.
<Note>: If you are going to jam the external time code into the generator while the frame rate of external time code does not match the DV824 frame rate, "Illegal Frame!" is shown on the display for warning. If you are going to initiate the jam function while external time code is not normally fed to the DV824, "Void LTC in!"...
Immediately mode DVD-RAM disk. <Note>: In this mode, if no DVD-RAM disk is set, the DV824 cancels the auto copy mode and returns to the normal recording mode. Immediately after the DV824 ends recording to the partition and stops, the copy starts.
Page 84
After the display shows "Setup auto copy" followed by "Ready auto copy", the selected mode is set. The setting is stored to the DV824 flash ROM. In this procedure example, it is assumed that "IMME" (Immediately) is selected. Press the [STOP/HOME] key to exit the MENU mode.
"Backup Copy Finished!" is shown. In the "BGRD" (background) mode, even if no DVD-RAM disk is set, the DV824 makes recording to the partition. In such a case, the copy data remains internally after recording to the partition finishes, therefore, auto copy is executed when set- ting a blank DVD-RAM disk.
DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824 DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824 DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824 DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824 DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824 Disk copy function The disk copy function fully copies all audio files recorded on a DVD-RAM disk (or hard disk partition) to another DVD-RAM disk (or hard disk partition).
During disk copy, the display shows estimated time and space remaining progress indication for disk copy. When disk copy completes, "Completed!" is shown on the display and the DV824 stops disk access. Press the [STOP/HOME] key to exit the MENU mode.
Page 88
(on the screen example below, audio file 002 is selected). After making audio file selection, press the [ENTER/YES] key. The DV824 starts file copy to the destination medium (disk or partition). During file copy, the display shows estimated time and space remaining progress indication for file copy.
A DVD-RAM disk which is the partner of the current drive formatted for "dual drive recording" is called a "mirror disk". When formatting the DV824 internal hard disk partition for "dual drive record- ing", a DVD-RAM disc set to the DVD-RAM drive is automatically assigned as a "mirror disk".

To execute dual drive recording, you must set a mirror disk to the DVD-RAM disk drive. If a wrong disk is set to the DVD-RAM disk drive or no disk is set, the DV824 detects an error when scanning the mirror disk, and shows a caution message ("Difference! DDR mirror disk", etc.).
In the following connection example, a VTR is a master, while the DV824 (with the Model 8348) is a slave. The DV824 receives time code recorded on the master VTR and chase the master. A word sync reference signal is also fed to the DV824 from the master VTR.
[IEEE1394] (or [USB]) connector, audio file data can be transferred between the DV824 and a personal computer. DV824 audio data can be copied to a hard disk on the personal computer, or ex- ported to a software application such as Digidesign Pro Tools.
Set the "IEEE1394" menu item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode to "CONNECT". How to unmount the DV824 from the PC To unmount the DV824 from the PC, make the PC side ready for unmounting the DV824, disconnect the IEEE1394 cable, and set the "IEEE1394" menu item to "DIS- CONNECT".
