1) ExtTCGo o menu group E, and move the cursor to

2)Incoming timecode will be displayed on the bottom line, together with the frame rate of the timecode.

The EXT TC indicator will light when timecode is received.

10.4.2 Timecode output

The timecode received at the TIME CODE IN jack, or the timecode recorded on tape, can be output from the TIME CODE OUT jack.

When the DA-98 is the timecode master, the time- code it outputs should be off tape.

However, when the DA-98 is in the middle of a timecodeOutTcpSrcchain,utTyouCwillSprobablyourcewant to retrans- mit he incoming timecode (the OUT functions as a THRU).

1) Go o menuExtegrouprn5,l(movertheegcursoren)to (output timecode source), and

press ENTER:

2) Using the UP and(reshape)DOWN keys, select one of the three options: Tape; timecode will be replayed

off- ape, External(regen); the external timecode will be -generated by the DA-98’s Externalgenerator, resulting in a clean signal, or

; the timecode

signal will be simply filtered before being re- transmitted.

NOTE

When the DA-98 is in CHASE mode, and the timecode output has been set to TCTrack(see 10.2.1, “TcTrack setting” ), the timecode output from the DA-98 will be the received timecode, with the offset value added or subtracted from it. This means that any other DTRS units slaved to the timecode output do not need to have separate offset settings, but can use the master DA-98’s offset.

10.4.3 Timecode output format

This FastLTCfunction controls the way in which timecode is output when fast winding the tape, or if shuttling is carried out at greater than normal playback speed.

The 5Framesetting means that timecode infor- mation is not output continuously. Here, the DA- 98 reads the timecode from the tape as it is spool- ing, outputs 5 consecutive frames at normal speed starting with the value which has been read from tape, then reads the tape again, outputs another 5 consecutive frames based on the new tape posi- tion, and so on.

The Leapsetting means that timecode is output continuously during fast operations, and will not be c ntiguousstLTCM(it will leapodb tween frames).

The offsetting means that timecode is not out- put during fast operations5Fr. ame

1) FastGo to menuLTCgroup 5, move the cursor to and press ENTER:

2)Use the UP or DOWN keys to select the option as described above.

10.4.4 Timecode output timing

Because of the nature of the digital-to-analog con- version, the timecode which is output from the DA-98 must be synchronized to match the audio timing from either the digital or the analog audio
