User manual FOSTEX D-15

[. . . ] Furthermore the 8335 board brings the D-15's new chase mode into its own by synchronising to external LTC when playing back with the option of referencing to externa Word, Video and AES/EBU. mechanical and electronic solutions which make this possible. T oday this facility is commonplace but usually only on machines with `professional' price tags. [. . . ] T meet the versatile application o criteria now expected, Fostex have now engineered a DAT machine with comprehensive timecode NUMERIC KEYPAD The numeric keypad allows for quick and easy entry of cue points and set-up information. The 100 memory locations displayed in A-TIME (or timecode when optional Model 8335 fitted), are therefore easily accessible. features at a truly competitive price. USABILITY THE FOSTEX D-15 Based on technology first seen in the market leading D-10, the D-15 features 8 Mbit of DRAM on-board Fostex's reputation for ergonomic design is enhanced in the D-15's clear and concise front panel which features a large multi-function P R O F E S S I O N A L T I M E C O D E D AT DAT fluorescent display with 7 modes (5 different time scales plus `nonhold' and `permanent') of peak metering, soft touch illuminated transport keys, a large jog/shuttle wheel and the logical layout other buttons and switches. Essential professional features. . s Newly designed 4-motor transport for ultra-fast tape shuttling (120 minute tape in 60 seconds) s Full S-ID implementation including write and erase of S-ID, SKIP-ID and END-ID plus locate to S-ID, program number and user defined points (100 locations available) s Selectable reference levels: -12, -18 and -20dB with fine recording level adjustment on each channel s 18bit 64x oversampling A/D converter and 20bit 128x oversampling D/A converter s Front panel `lock-out' via software command prevents unauthorised access s D-SUB 37-pin parallel remote port provided as standard for optional controllers i. e. Fostex Model RMC-2 Remote Controller 8336 RS-422 SERIAL BOARD Complies to the RS-422 protocol with the exception of the vari-speed command enabling controllers to shuttle the D-15 to selected locations. The 8336 board must be used in conjunction with the 8335 timecode board.
