Hints for making print masters on DT R S machines
I f possible play back the master in a different machine to which it was recorded.
I f a DA98 is available. T his can be used in “confidence” mode. T his plays back the
audio off tape whilst recording using read after write heads. Bear in mind the following
§
T he audio output of the DA98 is delayed by 6 frames. T he projector must be
advanced to compensate for this.
§
T he tracks are armed in pairs in this mode. Please ensure that no noise, hiss
etc. is recorded on unused tracks, especially in a 5.1 format film. T racks 2 and
4 LC and RC are still played back in the cinema, so any noise present on them
will be reproduced in the cinema.
§
I t is not possible to drop-in/punch-in in this mode.
