Video sync, also known as house sync or black burst, is used to ensure a known and accurate synchronization
relationship exists between RADAR
24 and all the other devices in the studio, especially video equipment.
To slave RADAR
24 to external video sync:
1. Connect the video sync source to the
WORDCLOCK/ VIDEO – IN
connector using a 75-ohm BNC
terminated cable. If RADAR
24 is the last device in the chain make sure to terminate the video sync
connection using the 75-ohm terminator switch on the rear panel.
2. Use
the
MENU/PREV
, arrow keys and
ENTER
key to go to the
MAIN / SYNC MENU / TC SETTINGS
menu and
make sure that the current project time code rate matches the incoming video sync frequency.
3. Press
the
SYNC/OFFSET
key on the
Session Controller
or
KC-24
or use the
MENU/PREV
key, arrow
keys and
ENTER
key to go to the
MAIN / SYNC MENU / SYNC REFERENCE
menu and hit the
ENTER
key.
4. Use the arrow keys to select
SYNC REFERENCE: NTSC: 29.97
and press the
ENTER
key.
Note: The video sync frequency value displayed in the Sync Reference dialog will depend on the time code rate setting of the
sync menu NOT the rate of the incoming video sync signal.
Word clock signal supplied to the
WORDCLOCK/ VIDEO-IN
can be passed on to other devices using the
WORDCLOCK/ VIDEO-OUT/THRU
connector. In situations where RADAR
24 should act as the clock master, word
clock can also be output from the
WORDCLOCK/ VIDEO-OUT/THRU
connector. The function of the
OUT/THRU
connector can be changed in the
MAIN / SYNC MENU / SYNC REF OUTPUT
setting.
To switch between word clock out and thru:
1. Use
the
MENU/PREV
key, arrow keys and
ENTER
key to go to the
MAIN / SYNC MENU /
SYNC REF OUTPUT
and press the
ENTER
key.
2. Use the right and left arrow keys to select
OUT
or
THRU
and press the
ENTER
key.
SMPTE / MTC
Although SMPTE and MTC are primarily positional synchronization references, in some situations it is
necessary for RADAR
24 to track less than ideal timing sources such as a 2” multitrack recorder or MIDI
sequencer. In this instance RADAR
24 uses the incoming time code as a clock reference as well. When
referenced to SMPTE or MTC the RADAR
24 will track any variations in the speed of the master flawlessly.
To slave RADAR
24 to SMPTE time code or MTC:
1. Connect the SMPTE time code source to the
LTC: SMPTE / EBU
connector using a balanced or
unbalanced XLR terminated cable. Connect the MTC source to the
MIDI IN
using a MIDI cable.
2. Use
the
MENU/PREV
, arrow keys and
ENTER
key to go to the
MAIN / SYNC MENU / TC SETTINGS
menu and
make sure that the time code rate matches the incoming time code signal.
3. Press the
SYNC/OFFSET
key on the
Session Controller
or
KC-24
or go to
MAIN / SYNC MENU / SYNC
REFERENCE
and press the
ENTER
key.
