3 – Rear Panel connectors

This section provides a brief description of the functions of the connectors on the rear panel. For full details of cables to be used, pinouts, etc., see 4, “Connections”.

[37]TIME CODE (IN and OUT)

This pair of XLR connectors (female for IN and male for OUT) provides the timecode connections for the synchronization functions of the DA-98. See 10, “Operations related to timecode” for full details.

[38]VIDEO (IN/THRU)

The VIDEO BNC connectors are used to carry video frame sync signals when the DA-98 is used with video equipment. The self-terminating THRU connector echoes messages received at the IN.

See 10.6, “Video resolution” and 11.1.1, “Video clocking” for details of video sync operation.

[39]WORD SYNC (IN/OUT/THRU)

These BNC connectors are used to carry the word clock between the DA-98 and other types of digi- tal audio equipment. The THRU connector is self- terminating. See 8.10, “Digital recording” for full details.

[40]RS-422

This connector is used for controlling the DA-98 using controllers or editors which conform to the Sony P2 protocol (RS-422). See 11.1, “Use with 9-pin external control” for full details of how to use this connector.

[41]MIDI IN/OUT/THRU

These connectors carry MIDI Time Code (MTC) and MMC (MIDI Machine Control) commands. See 11.3, “MIDI Machine Control” for details of how these facilities are used when synchronizing to other units.

[42]CONTROL I/O

This connector is used for control of the DA-98 by external equipment. Consult your TASCAM dealer for full details of compatibility and the use of this connnector.

The pinout for this connector is given in 15.1.6, “CONTROL I/O connector pinout”.

Section 3 – Rear Panel connectors

[43]REMOTE IN/SYNC IN

This connector is used to connect another “mas- ter” DTRS unit (e.g. DA-98, DA-88 or DA-38). See 9, “Synchronization with other DTRS units” for further details.

An RC-848 remote control unit may also be con- nected here, but not all functions of the DA-98 are available from the remote contol unit.

[44]SYNC OUT

This is used to connect another DTRS unit in the “daisy-chain” or, if this DA-98 is the last unit in the chain, to attach a termination plug.

[45]TDIF-1 (DIGITAL I/O)

This connector carries the digital signals to and from the DA-98 in TEAC Digital Interface Format (TDIF-1).

[46]METER UNIT (MU-8824)

This connector carries power and signals to drive

8channels of the optional MU-8824 24-channel Meter Unit.

Make the connection using a TASCAM PW-88M cable.

[47]ANALOG INPUT

This connector carries 8 balanced inputs at a nom- inal +4dBu level. This allows convenient and reli- able single-cable connection to the GROUP outputs of a suitably-equipped console such as the TASCAM M-1600 series.

[48]ANALOG OUTPUT

This connector carries 8 balanced outputs at a nominal +4dBu level. This allows convenient and reliable single-cable connection to the tape return inputs of a suitably-equipped console such as the TASCAM M-1600 series.

[49]~ IN

Use the provided AC power cord to connect the DA-98 to the AC power supply through this connector.
