6 – Internal Settings and Operations

MASTER

Select the master clock to use.

INT (default value): Use this unit’s internal clock.

WORD: Synchronize with the word clock input through the WORD/VIDEO IN connector.

VIDEO: Synchronize with the video clock input through the WORD/VIDEO IN connector.

CH1-2DIN - CH7-8DIN: Synchronize with the clock of the digital signal (AES1-8, AES A-B, or ADAT1-8) selected as the digital input for CH1-2, 3-4, 5-6, or 7-8.

You cannot select an input as the master clock if the sampling rate converter is ON for that input.

The second line of the button shows the name of the selected digital input signal.

NOTE

••

A check mark appears on the button of the currently active

 

master clock.

••

If synchronization from an external clock is interrupted, the

 

unit’s internal clock becomes active. In this case, a check mark

 

appears on the INT button to show that it has become the

 

active clock, and an “x” appears on the button of the selected

 

external clock that was lost.

Depending on the combination of Project sampling frequency and Play sampling frequency settings, the unit will operate with the Fs shown below.

NOTE

Set this to OFF before recording. Recording is not possible when set to Pull-up +0.1% or Pull-down –0.1%. If you try to record when not OFF, “Cannot REC” appears in a warning pop-up window.

TC Chase

Use to turn playback synchronized with external timecode ON/OFF (default value: OFF). Set it to ON, when you want to match the timing of this unit’s audio with a timecode master unit (audio recorder or video).

You can also set timecode offset (TC Offset) with the timecode master device. Touch the “EDIT” button to open the “TC Offset” screen where you can set the offset value in a range between “−23: 59: 59.29” and “+23: 59: 59.29” (default value: “00: 00: 00.00”).

NOTE

TC Chase can also be turned ON/OFF by pressing the SHIFT and CALL keys at the same time.

Make setting related to synchronization.

STATUS

Shows the status of the currently loaded project’s sampling frequency and clock synchronization.

Play Fs

When playing a take with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz, 48 kHz pull-up, or 48 kHz pull-down, the unit can be made to synchronize with an external clock by setting it to play back with pull-up or pull-down.

TC Rechase

Turn this function, which re-synchronizes when synchronization with external timecode becomes inaccurate, ON/OFF (default value: “OFF”). To set the amount of inaccuracy that triggers rechase, touch the knob and turn the DATA dial to select a value in frames of 1/3, 1, 2, 5 or 10 (default value: 2 frames).
