Frame Rate

There are four standard time code frame rates, each developed for a specific

application. In addition, two of the frameOK rates have variations called drop-frame,

mostly used by broadcasters to correct timing issues caused by the 29.97 frame rate. Use Frame Rate (SETUP:Sync:FrRate) to set the time code frame rate to one of the following settings: 24, 25, 29.97, 29.97 Drop, 30, 30 Drop. If you’re not involved with video or broadcast applications, 30 frames per second is your best choice.

Sample Size

The Sample Size setting

(SETUP:Sync:Page Right:SSize)

determines how many bits are containedOK in each audio sample recorded to disk

(the bit “resolution”). While 16-Bit audio takes up 1/3 less disk space than 24-Bit audio, 24-Bit audio offers the potential for greater dynamic range (the difference between the softest and loudest sounds that can be recorded) and captures a more accurate “image” of the sound. The selected sample size appears in the status display.

LTC Output

This setting turns the SMPTE LTC OUT on or off (SETUP:Sync:Page Right: Ltc0). Turn this on when the SDR24/96 is generating master SMPTE time code.

MTC Output

This setting turns MIDI time code on or off at the MIDI OUT jack (SETUP:Sync:Page Right:Mtc0). Turn this on when the SDR24/96 is generating master MIDI time code (MTC).

Varispeed

The Varispeed setting (SETUP:Sync:Page Right:VariSp) allows you to speed up or slow down the playback speed in percentages (an increase of 1 percent means it only takes 0.9 seconds to play back a second music) or semitones (an increase of 1 semitone is a half-step on the musical scale). It does this by varying the sample rate speed.

Select Units to toggle between percent (%) and semitones (sem). Press the Page Right button to access the increment (Inc) and decrement (Dec) controls to adjust the speed. Select Zero to return to 0% (no change in speed). The VARI LED lights in the status display whenever varispeed is activated.
