Fostex DV824 External parallel controller connection, External video editor connection

DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824

<Note>: The FS of the receiving digital input signal must match the FS setting of the unit. You can make the FS setting using the "Record FS/BIT" menu item of the "SYS SETUP" menu in the MENU mode or the quick setup mode (see pages 47 and 117 respec- tively).

External parallel controller connection

The DV824 provides the [PARALLEL REMOTE] connector (8-pin mini DIN), which is used for connecting to an external controller. You can operate the following nine functions using the external controller.

1	PLAY	4	REWIND	7	PAUSE
2	STOP	5	F. FORWARD	8	SKIP/CURSOR
3	RECORD	6	CUE point entry	9	SKIP/CURSOR

(*) VDD (12V), Max. 500mA

The power voltage is supplied while the unit's power is on.

<Note>: Pin 7 (DC-12V) derives from the internal main power supply of the unit. If you short-circuit it to ground or connect it to heavy load, the unit may heat up abnormally. When using the [PARALLEL REMOTE] connector, connect to lighter load and never short-circuit the pin.

External video editor connection

Using the [P2/ES BUSS INPUT] connector, you can control the DV824 from an external video editor via RS422. The [P2/ES BUSS THRU] connector allows you to control more than one unit from the editor (see page 71 for details).

Sync signal (word clock) connection

The DV824 provides the [WORD INPUT] connector which is used to lock the DV824 to an external digital device. The connector accepts a word clock from an external device.

The DV824 also provides the [WORD OUTPUT] connector which feeds a word clock to an external device.

Ethernet connection

The DV824 is equipped with the ether card and provides the RJ-45 connector which supports 100/10BASE-T FTP.

By connecting the unit to your PC via a LAN cable and setting up the unit as an "FTP (File Transfer Protocol" server, you can transfer audio files between the unit and PC over TCP/IP. An appropriate FTP client application is used for file data transfer (see page 73 for details).
