has priority (signal auto detection). For output, both types of sockets can be used
simultaneously.
The sockets
and (page 12), respectively the input and output, are XLR type (SPMTE/EBU
Time Code Format). The input sensitivity of these sockets is 200 mV - 10 V pp for an impedance
< 2 k
Ω
diff. The output voltage is 2 V diff. nominal pp for an impedance < 250 k
Ω
.
The Lemo-type socket is a combined in/output in Aaton format, fully compatible with the
Aaton standards (Time Code and ASCII). The Lemo socket is at TTL level. The input impedance
is > 10 k
Ω
and the output impedance < 250 k
Ω
.
The Time Code inputs and outputs are located on the right side of the recorder.
Connecting Digital Sync (WordClock)
Stelladat II can be synchronized with an external WordClock or video (NTSC and PAL) signal
which is to be connected on the BNC-type socket
(page 12). The recorder recognizes
automatically the type of signal used and displays it on the Status screen:
•
WCK 44
•
WCK 48
•
VIDEO PAL
•
VIDEO NTSC
Stelladat II can also act as a WordClock generator or be inserted in a sync chain, thus has
therefore an output (
). When the output is not used, the WordClock loop switch WCK LOOP
must be set to the WCK position.
Connecting RS422
A SONY-9 pin type remote can be connected to the RS 422 socket (page 12). This DB-9 type
socket is software activated (Configuration Menu > Remote Control > RS422 ). Here is the pin-
out of the socket:
1 Frame Ground
2 Transmit A
3 Receive B
4 Transmit Common
5 NC
6 Receive Common
7 Transmit B
8 Receive A
9 Frame Ground
It is strongly recommended to inactivate the RS 422 function when it is not used.
