140 Chapter 12—Timecode
D24—Owner’s Manual
Timecode Hookup Examples

The following system examples show several timecode configurations.

MTC with MIDI Sequencer

In the following example, the D24 is the timecode master and the personal computer

running MIDI sequencing software is the timecode slave. Since the D24 does not sup-

port MMC when it’s configured as a timecode slave, it must be the timecode master (see

“Timecode & the D24” on page 134).

SMPTE/EBU & Two D24s

In this example, two D24s are used with a digital mixing console. D24-A is the timecode

master, and the D24-B and digital mixing console are timecode slaves. The digital mix-

ing console uses the external timecode for automix synchronization. The timecode sig-

nal is transmitted from D24-A to D24-B via the 15-pin sync cable, and to the digital

mixing console via the SMPTE/EBU cable. Alternatively, timecode could be transmit-

ted to the digital mixing console as MTC.
