Connection examples

Connection example for recording (1)

The following shows the example of using the PD606 with microphones, which makes the best use of the PD606 and can be applied to news gathering, audio recording for film, etc.

In the example below, audio signals from microphones and time code generated by the external time code generator are simultaneously recorded to the PD606, while the same time code is also recorded to the VTR along with a video camera signal. Up to six microphones can be connected to the PD606 input channels, allowing recording various sources simultaneously.

The external time code generator output is connected to time code inputs of both the VTR and PD606. Using the PD606 jam function, the PD606 time code generator can run with extreme accuracy after it locks to external time code.

Therefore, you can make PD606 recording in sync with the VTR even if you discon- nect the time code input after the PD606 generator locks to external time code. When external time code is disconnected, the internal generator runs with its own crystal (when the generator mode is set to "FREE RUN"). See pages 94 and 188 for details about the jam function.
