User manual FOSTEX 8346

[. . . ] APPENDIX <Operation manual for the recorder with the Model 8346 TC/SYNC card installed> This appendix is the operation manual for the recorder with the Model 8346 TC/SYNC card installed. <Installation of the optional card> The TC/SYNC card should be installed into the recorder at a FOSTEX service station. Do not try to install the card by yourself. Ask your local FOSTEX dealer for the installation after purchasing the Model 8346. <Notes when requesting the installation> There is the possibility of damaging the hard disk when transporting the recorder. Before transporting the recorder to our service department for the installation of the TC/SYNC card, remove the hard disk from the recorder. [. . . ] TC ?" menu setting" described earlier. Select the "Offset Disp?" menu by using the Jog dial and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key. The current setting is flashing (the default setting when the Model 8346 is installed is "Off").

Selection Function The real-offset value is not displayed. Ena. (Disable) Disables recording/playback of the virtual LTC. This setting is used when you want to chase the recorder using only the MTC offset setting, ignoring the recorded LTC. With this setting, the TIME CODE OUT terminal outputs MTC or LTC with the MTC offset. On The real-offset value is displayed instead of the REMAIN time when the time base is set to MTC If you press the [STORE] key, the display shows "Catch Offset!" for a second, then changes to the edit mode display of the chase offset which will be explained in "GENERATOR Setup" later. Recording mode Function Time code that is continuous with the time code previously recorded will be recorded. This mode is also useful to re-record a discontinuous time code. Time code generated by the internal generator will be recorded. Time code generated by the internal generator will be recorded from the current time of the recorder's internal clock.

It records only the ABS time at the recording start point and the time code offset value. Therefore, if you record discontinuous time code in the middle, it cannot recognize it. Also note that because the user's bit at the recording start point is maintained, the 8346 cannot recognize user's bit change in the middle.

Therefore, if you use the same LTC with the new program, you do not need to re-record LTC. 7 APPENDIX (Operation manual for the recorder with the Model 8346 TC/SYNC card installed) <How to record time code> After setting the time code recording mode described above, record time code by the following procedure. Press the [EDIT] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key to turn TC READY on (the TC READY indicator will flash). Press the [PLAY] button while holding down the [RECORD] button (the TC READY indicator will light). Unlike audio signal recording, you do not need to arm a track for time code. Also note that recording time code does not consume the hard disk space. To erase all the time code information, see "Erasing the recorded time code" described later.

Selecting the output time code When the time code recording mode (described above) is set to "Free Run" or "24H Run", the 8346 can output the internal generator time code or recorded time code. Note that it does not output time code when the time code recording mode is set to "Rec Run" or "Ext Run". Editing the internal generator time code Editing the internal generator time code can be done only when the time code recording mode (described above) is set to "Free Run". <CAUTION> · While time code is output, the recorder's vari pitch and word sync functions are prohibited. [. . . ] Set the recorder's frame rate to the same rate as the incoming time code by the "Frame Rate ?" menu of the Setup mode. The "Frame Rate?" menu of the Setup mode allows you to select the desired frame rate from 24, 25, 29nd, 29df, 30nd and 30df. 2. While "MTC" is selected, press the DISP SEL key to select the time code display. When the recorder is receiving LTC, the display shows the incoming LTC while "TC IN" lights in the display. Synchronization with the VTR 1. Start playback of the VTR. If an offset value is set, the recorder will start playback, chasing the time code from the VTR with maintaining the offset. <CAUTION> · The recorder can chase incoming time code within the range of continuously recorded time code. If there is a discontinuity in the recorded time code, when incoming time code runs across the discontinuous point, "Out of Zone!" will appear in the display and the recorder may stop chasing.
