DMTi 30
Converting from one Modular Digital Multitrack
to another (DA-88 to ADAT or vice versa)
Application
Transferring tracks in the digital domain from one type of modular digital
multitrack to another in a single pass.
What you need
Since the
DMTi
can only interface with one type of modular digital multitrack
at a time, to do this conversion requires two
DMTi
s, one equipped with the
DA-88 (TDIF-1) option and the other with the ADAT option, linked together
using the Kurzweil Digital Stream.
Hookup
• Connect the ADAT-format modular digital multitrack to the
MDM
jack of the
ADAT option-equipped
DMTi
, using the cables provided with the recorder
for connecting two decks together: two optical cables and two sync cables.
• Connect the DA-88-format digital multitrack recorder to the DA-88 option-
equipped DMTi ’s
MDM
jack, using the 25-conductor cable provided with the
recorder for connecting two decks together.
• Determine which deck is the source deck (playback) and which is the
destination deck (record). Connect a KDS cable (included with the
DMTi
)
from the
KDS Out
of the DMTi associated with the source deck, to the
KDS
In of the
DMTi
associated with the destination deck. If you want to transfer
bi-directionally between decks, use two KDS cables.
• You may want to use an external source of word clock as the sync master.
You can use external word clock for either or both of the decks, but you
must make sure that the word clock feeds both the deck and its associated
DMTi
. Connect the source of word clock to the
DMTi
’s Word Clock In put,
and to the modular digital multitrack’s word clock input.
• If you want to preserve SMPTE timecode numbers on the tape, connect an
appropriate cable from the source deck’s SMPTE or MIDI Time Code output
to the corresponding input on the destination deck. (See Page 32 for more
on timecode.)
