Synchronizing with Video Equipment

When used in combination with the optional Roland SI-80S LANC to MTC Converter, you can control the Play and Stop functions of the VS-1824 using consumer video equipment.

This video equipment must provide a consumer video interface that conforms to RCTC time code. On many video products, this interface is labeled “LANC.” Make your connections as shown below, and refer to the SI-80S owner’s manual and the owner’s manual for your video device.

	Menu icon appears in the display. If the System Menu
	icon does not appear, press [F6 (EXIT)].
2.	Press [F4 (MIDI)]. If “MIDI” does not appear in the
	display above [F4], press [PAGE] until “MIDI” appears,
	and then press [F4 (MIDI)].
