7 – Making settings on the DTRS units
This section covers the operations which relate to the DTRS units, other than those specifically related to timecode.
7.1 Track operations
The following series of operations relate to indi- vidual tracks of the DTRS units connected to the
7.1.1 Track delay
When recording or playing back, tracks on a DTRS unit may be delayed by up to 7200 sam- ples, or advanced relative to other tracks up to a value of 200 samples.
This is possible due to the design of the recording and monitoring heads in the DTRS mechanism.
1)From menu group 0, move the cursor to Delay and press SELECT:
T r a c k D e l a y T i m e
0 1 | 0 0 0 m s e c |
|
|
2)Use either the UP key or the numeric keypad to change the track number by individual track.
NOTE
The track number here may be set from 01 to 48. Tracks refer only to DTRS units, not to any other equipment which may be using the REC FUNCTION switches of tracks 41 through 46.
3)When track 1 is shown, you can press the DOWN key to select the eight tracks of the first DTRS unit. Continue pressing the DOWN key to select the tracks in groups of eight for the subsequent DTRS units (i.e.
T r a c k D e l a y T i m e
1 - 8 | 0 0 0 m s e c |
|
|
Any changes to the delay time made when a group fo eight tracks is shown will affect the delay time of all tracks on the unit. This allows you to set the
delay times for different DTRS units in the chain easily (to slip times, etc.).
When track 48 is shown on the display, pressing the UP key will select tracks
4)Move the cursor to the numerical value field and use the UP and DOWN keys or the numeric keypad to enter a value.
The +/– key of the numeric keypad allows you to enter negative values here, as shown by the period after the last digit in the LOCATE TIME/VALUE display.
5)If you prefer to work in sample values, rather than milliseconds, move the cursor to the msec field and change it to sample with the DOWN key.
The delay value is now converted to samples at the current sampling frequency, and is up to 4 digits long.
7.1.2 Track copying
3898 This operation allows the assignment of inputs (either digital or analog) on a
As well as external inputs, tracks which have already been recorded can be used as recording sources. This feature therefore allows tracks to be copied within a unit.
It does not allow routing or copying of tracks between machines, nor does it allow the combina- tion
