[. . . ] After CHASE ON of D-15, it will lock on to REF TC and frame sync playback executed at a sufficiently low fluctuation variable speed playback on the hearing characteristics such that it will remain locked (Refer to <NOTE>) . Should lock be disengaged, it will automatically chase again. Cont 501 001 FrAME 501 002 When the audio sampling clock and the time code clock do not match, the lock is apt to become disengaged if the transport is run for a long time. In such a case, use the above "FrAME (002)" mode. <NOTE> Permissible clock deviation between external time code and chaseable clock is about 0. 1 %. Therefore, it will not function if clock deviation is larger than this. 9. Setup of the lock window [Lo ck Wi nd 502 -***] The reference frame to determine the UNLOCK state subsequent to CHASE locking when selecting the "Cont (continue)" or "FrAME" CHASE operation mode to make the D-15 CHASE by the external time code, is selected by this menu. The reference frames can be setup within the one to 20 frame range in one frame units. After entering the SETUP mode, rotate the [JOG] dial, select the [LockWind 502 -***] menu, and press the [EXECUTE/SET] key. Then, after rotating the [JOG] dial CW and CCW to select the desired frame rate, press the [EXECUTE/ SET] key again (* is the initial setting). This setup content will be held even if the power is switched OFF. Functional note 1 FrAM 20 FrAM Menu No. 000 020 Functional content The 1~20 frames can be set in one frame steps. (*) "010" = 10 frames. 14 Model 8335 (TC/SYNC card) Owner's Manual 10. Setup of the external clock [Ex tC LK 503 -***] The external sync signal to be used in phase modifying operation of the D-15 with external equipment is selected by this menu. The external sync signal can be selected from three different types - "AES/Ebu, " "Word" and "VidEo. " After entering the SETUP mode, rotate the [JOG] dial, select the [ExtCLK 503 -***] menu, and press the [EXECUTE/SET] key. Then, after rotating the [JOG] dial CW and CCW to select the desired frame rate, press the [EXECUTE/SET] key again (* is the initial setting). This setup content will be held even if the power is switched OFF. Functional note AES Ebu Word VidEo Menu No. 000 001 002 (*) Functional content Select the AES/EBU digital signal. Select the video sync signal. <NOTE> If external sync is not normal, the display [EXT CLOCK] will blink in warning. In such a case, check the connection and the setup content of the SETUP menu [ExtCLK 503 -***]. <NOTE> When SETUP "503 -000 (AES/EBU)" is selected, use the XLR type connector to input the digital signal. Note that it will function if the OPTICAL IN connector is used. 15 Model 8335 (TC/SYNC card) Owner's Manual Additional Functions 1. Recording the external time code (LTC) By installing this equipment in the D-15, external time codes (LTC) can be converted to IEC time codes (PRO R-TIME and PRO binary) and recorded in the sub code area while recording an audio signal. <NOTE> The D-15 with the Model 8335 installed cannot separately record audio and time codes. Therefore, it must be noted that if audio is inserted in a no sound recorded section, the time code of that section will be erased. Connection with external equipment In order to record time codes (LTC) during recording of audio signals, the 8335 must be installed in the D-15 and external equipment connected to it as shown below. 1. Connect the external equipment time code (LTC) output to the TIME CODE IN (XLR-3-31 type or RCA) connector of 8335 installed in D-15. <NOTE> If cables are connected to both XLR (balanced) and RCA (unbalanced) connectors, RCA will have priority and thus XLR cannot be used. [. . . ] When executing CHASE operation in sync with external time codes, a certain amount of time difference (CHASE OFFSET TIME) can be set between two time codes functioning in synchronization. If this OFFSET figure is setup, when the slave D-15 starts the CHASE operation, it can be synchronized with the external time code while maintaining an interval equal to the CHASE OFFSET time. The operating method below, as explained by "Chase Synchronizing" on page 19, is explained in the situation of inputing an external time code to the D-15. Editing Method 1. Press once the D-15 front panel [OFFSET] key. When the key is pressed, time difference between the presently input external time code and time code on the tape, and the frame rate is displayed (Example below shows that the present OFFSET is 00: 01: 18: 03: 84 and frame rate is 25).
