CONNECTING WORD CLOCK

(For the MIDI Timepiece AV only)
The MIDI Timepiece AV can serve as a word clock
sync master device, providing sample-accurate
phase lock for any standard word clock device.
Word clock allows you to resolve hard disk
recorders, digital tape decks, digital mixers and
other digital audio devices to video, SMPTE time
code, MIDI time code, or the MIDI Timepiece AV's
internal audio clock.
In most situations, you'll want to slave your word
clock device to the MIDI Timepiece AV with both
the word clock and SMPTE time code connections
shown below in Figure 2-13. In this scenario, the
word clock device follows the MIDI Timepiece AV
for transport control.

In the above example, if you wanted to use the
Yamaha 02R as the transport master, you would
reverse the SMPTE time code connection, feeding
SMPTE OUT of the mixer to SMPTE IN on the
MIDI Timepiece AV.

CONNECTING PRO TOOLS "SUPERCLOCK"

(For the MIDI Timepiece AV only)
The MIDI Timepiece AV can serve as a Digidesign
Pro Tools "superclock" (256x word clock) sync
master device, providing sample-accurate phase
lock for any Pro Tools system. Like word clock,
super clock allows you to resolve Pro Tools to
video, SMPTE time code, MIDI time code, or the
MIDI Timepiece AV's internal audio clock.
To slave your Pro Tools hardware to the MTP AV,
make the word sync connection shown below in
Figure 2-13.

CONNECTING AN ALESIS LRC

(For the MIDI Timepiece AV only)
The Pedal B jack on the front panel of the MIDI
Timepiece AV can serve as an input for the
Alesis LRC™ remote controller, or any device that
emulates the LRC, such as the Fostex Model 8312™
controller. Doing so gives you control of the MIDI
Timepiece AV (and all devices slaving to it) from
the LRC transport controls.
