Expanding the Number of Tracks 145

D24—Owner’s Manual
Expanding the Number of Tracks

The number of tracks available for simultaneous recording and playback can be

expanded in multiples of eight by combining up to eight D24s.

In the following example, four D24s are used in conjunction with a digital mixing con-

sole, for a 32-track recording system. D24-A is the wordclock and timecode master,

while the other D24s and the digital mixing console are wordclock and timecode slaves.

Wordclock and timecode signals are distributed among the D24s via 15-pin sync cables.

The Chase function is turned on on the slave D24s, which automatically chase and syn-

chronize to the master’s timecode. The digital mixing console’s automix function is

synchronized to the timecode coming from D24-A, for fully automated mixing.
