9.4.3 Timecode track mapping

98This function is related to the track mapping function described above. Analog track 3 in the controller mapping is traditionally used as the timecode track. To map this track to the audio track selected above (see 9.4.2, “Track mapping functions”) or to the dedicated timecode track of the DA-98:

1)From menu group 6, move the cursor to TC Rec EN, and press SELECT:

T C R e c o r d

E n a b l e

 

e n a b l e

 

 

d i s a b l e » » » » »

»

M a c h i n e 1

2 3 4 5 6

 

 

 

 

2)Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the appropriate setting for each connected DTRS unit.

Selecting disable here means that the track referred to by the controller’s commands as “ana- log 3” will be the DTRS track designated as “ana- log 3” in the table above (9.4.2, “Track mapping functions”). Selecting enable means that the DA-98’s dedicated timecode track will be con- trolled by commands addressed by the controller to the “analog 3” track.

9.4.4 Remote track arming

98It is sometimes useful to be able to disable track arming of a DA-98 unit from a remote con- troller, especially when that controller is a video editor which only allows for the arming and con-

trol of four tracks. Accordingly, you can disable the remote arming of tracks on a DA-98 unit (they can still be armed from the unit itself). See section

11.1.8 of the DA-98 manual for full details of this function.

1)From menu group 3, move the cursor to Trk Arm (track arming) and press SELECT:

2)Use the LEFT and RIGHT cursor keys to move between machines, and the UP and DOWN keys to enable or disable track arming from remote controllers.

9.4.5 Device emulation

98The DA-98 can emulate a variety of other devices, for example video recorders, etc., when controlled by an editor (i.e. this setting determines the way in which the DA-98 responds to a Device- ID request).

See section 11.1.2 of the DA-98 manual for full details regarding this function.

1)From menu group 6, move the cursor to Eml Dev (emulation device) and press SELECT:

E m u l a t i o n D e v i c e

M a c h i n e 1

P C M - 7 0 5 0

2)Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the device to be emulated from the following list:

•PCM-7050

•BVH-3000

•BVU-950

•BVW-75

•PCM-800

•BVH-2000

•DVR-10

•TASCAM

TASCAM is the native format of the DA-98, and should be selected if you do not need to emulate any other device from this list.

9.4.6 Recording delay

98When a DA-98 is remotely controlled by an editor, it is sometimes useful to be able to program a delay in recording, in order to emulate a VCR,
