The Model 8345 is a TC/SYNC card designed as an
option for digital multitrack recorders.
By installing the TC/SYNC card into the recorder,
the recorder can synchronize to external LTC or
video signal, as well as an external word clock. So
you can use the recorder synchronized with video
machines in video post production studios where
the synchronization between audio and video is in-
dispensable, or make digital sound recordings in a
system using a digital mixing console.
By installing the Model 8345 into the recorder, the
following SETUP menus and GEN setup function are
added. These SETUP menus are used when the re-
corder is synchronized to an external LTC or locked
to a video signal.
1. SETUP mode [Ref. TC ?] menu
This menu selects the reference timecode used as a mas-
ter timecode for the recorder.
The reference timecode can be selected between MTC (MIDI
timecode) and LTC according to the incoming timecode.
The default setting after formatting a disk is [LTC].
2. SETUP mode [Clock Sel ?] menu
This menu selects the reference clock of the recorder with
the 8345.
If the 8345 is not installed, you can select the reference
clock from [Int], [Auto] and [Word].
If the 8345 is installed, [Video] also can be the reference
clock in addition to the three options above.
3. SETUP mode [Sync Preset ?] menu
This menu is effective when the recorder with the 8345
installed is used in sync with a digital mixing console.
You can select from some preset options according to your
system to get the best synchronization performance.
4. SETUP mode [Virtual LTC ?] menu
This menu selects whether recording/playback of the vir-
tual LTC is enabled or disabled. The default setting is
[Ena.] (Enabled).
5. SETUP mode [OffsetDisp ?] menu
This menu selects whether or not displaying the real off-
set between the incoming reference timecode (LTC or MTC)
and the displayed MTC (output LTC).
The real offset is displayed instead of REMAIN when dis-
playing the MTC.
6. GENERATOR setup functions
The GENERATOR setup functions allows recording/eras-
ing an external or internal (generator) timecode, force-
jamming to external timecode, setting the LTC output, and
setting the chase offset value between incoming timecode
and the MTC.
