Fostex VF160EX Setting the SlaveType SlaveType, Setting the Record Protect function Rec Protect

Setting the SlaveType [“SlaveType”]

If you have set Slave Mode to “On” in the previous section “Slave Mode Setting,” you can choose what type of external sync signal that the VF160EX synchronizes to. This mode allows you to choose the external sync signal type.

• Initial setting: “Vari”

•Offset mode option: “Vari”, “Free”, “SPDIF” or “adat” * You can set the mode for each Program individually. * The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the

song data.

* The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the VF160EX.

<Notes>

•You need to input MTC from an external device to the VF160EX with any Slave Type.

•The VF160EX re-chase window is fixed to ten frames. That is, if an offset between the master device and slave device exceeds ten frames, the VF160EX interprets that as out of sync, and tried to chase and lock to MTC sent from the master device. This operation is called “re-chasing.” During the re-chase operation, audio output is muted.

If the slave machine slips with MTC from the master device by less than ten frames, the slave machine continues running while recognizing the slippage.

•When you set the Slave Type, the Vari Pitch function is automatically disabled. (The “VARI PITCH” indicator turns off.)

1.Select “Slave Type” in the menu selection display and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The currently set slave type will flash. “Vari” will flash in the initial setting.

2.Select the desired slave type with the [JOG] dial and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

It will be set to the selected slave type.

	After chase lock is achieved, the VF160EX
	enters the free run mode with reference
Free	to the internal clock.
	If Digital In is selected, the VF160EX runs
	in sync with the clock derived from Digi-
	tal In.
	After chase lock is achieved, the VF160EX
Vari	runs in the vari pitch mode to keep sync
	with the master. Note that if the Digital
(Initial setting)
	In is selected, the VF160EX runs in the
	same manner as "Free".
	After chase lock is achieved, if the
	VF160EX receives an S/PDIF digital sig-
SPDIF	nal from the master, it runs in sync with
	the S/PDIF clock. Note that, if Digital In
	is selected, the VF160EX runs in sync with
	the clock derived from Digital In.
	After chase lock is achieved, if the
	VF160EX receives an adat digital signal
adat	from the master, it runs in sync with the
	adat clock. Note that, if Digital In is se-
	lected, the VF160EX runs in sync with
	the clock derived from Digital In.

3. Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or STOP key) to exit from the SETUP mode.
