D24—Owner’s Manual

Wordclock System Examples

The following system examples show several wordclock configurations. Timecode con-
nections are not shown.

Basic Recording System

In the following two examples, a single D24 is used in conjunction with a digital mixing
console and DAT deck. In the first example, digital audio is transferred between the D24
and digital mixing console, and from the digital mixing console to the DAT deck, pro-
viding multitrack recording, mixing, and mixdown recording to DAT. The D24 is the
wordclock master and the digital mixing console and DAT deck are wordclock slaves.

In the second example below, digital audio from the DAT deck is transferred to the D24
via the digital mixing console. This requires a different wordclock configuration, and
the DAT deck is the wordclock master and the D24 and digital mixing console are word-
clock slaves.
