In PPR, LTC input running, Cantar checks the TC coherence
for three seconds then goes to record. While checking the
validity of the LTC signal, the audio is kept in a buffer, the
audio file begins right on the running LTC.
Frozen LTC input stops recording. If the LTC input disap-
pears, recording is maintained, no risk of interruption
caused by radio transmission drop-outs.
13 TC Source
Int.Clock Ext.Clock
On 'Internal Clock', Cantar is
THE
master-clock. On 'External
Clock', it is slaved to another timecode source (p.14).

In the -0.1% NTSC slow-second world, an A, B or C time
stamping method must be selected depending on the type
of editing machine that will be used (p.15).
15 LTC Gen Out
On Off
Note that in PLAY, the LTC output carries the TC and fps of
the played files, not the project time and frame-rate.
This signal can be used to remotely control a chasing VTR
while Rec&Play is used for 'Remix' and 'ADR type2'.

The user-bits Date is under the ISO (YYMMDD) form. UK
Date (MMDDYY), Filetag, TapeRef, and Freeform entries are
not yet enabled.
17 RecRun Init
01h00m00s
The RecRun clock jumps one hour at each rectangular
screen bottom line opening.
'
Rtc
' (record-run) is activated for the recording session and
stays there until another TC Source is selected; in this case
the clock goes back to its default free-run mode.
18 OperTc Init
01h00m00s
The operator entered TC becomes the next recording ses-
sion time reference. '
Otc
' is displayed in the rectangular
screen. It is disabled as soon as free-run TC from an exter-
nal source jams the internal clock.
19 Digi 1–8 Out
T1–T6 & Do M1-5 L1 & Do
• The Digi1–6 AES outputs either transmit the T1-T6 recorded
iso tracks or the mic 1-5 + line1 signals (p.30).
They are automatically devoted to output the Rec&Play play-
back tracks if BLUE-BRWS.22 'AES loop' is set to 'external'.
• The Digi7-8 outputs transmit the
Do
routed signals
(p.30).
20 CantaRemCom
Inactive Active Forced
'
Active
' makes CantaRem (p.53) control Cantar until
its cable is disconnected from the SubD15 ASCII port.
'
Forced
' allows CantaRem to control the STOP, TEST, PPR
and REC functions when the [MainSelector] is physically set
to the PPR position.
