11 Rec by LTC
see
Remote Roll, p.21
Inactive Active
In PPR, LTC input running, Cantar checks the TC coherence
for 3 seconds then goes to record. While checking the
validity of the LTC signal, the audio is kept in a buffer, the
audio file begins right on the running LTC.
Frozen LTC input stops recording. If the LTC input disap-
pears, recording is maintained, no risk of interruption
caused by radio transmission drop-outs.
12 TC Source
Int.Clock Ext.Clock
On 'Internal Clock', Cantar is
THE
master-clock. On 'External
Clock', it is slaved to another timecode source (p.14).

In the -0.1% NTSC slow-second world, an A, B or C time
stamping method must be selected depending on the type
of editing machine that will be used (p.15).
14 LTC Gen Out
On Off
Note that in PLAY the LTC output carries the TC and fps of
the played files, not the project time and frame-rate.
This signal can be used to remotely control a chasing VTR
while Rec&Play is used for 'Remix' and 'ADR type2'.

16 RecRun Init
01h00m00s
Time jumps one hour at each rectangular screen bottom line
opening. ‘
Rtc
’ (record-run) is activated for the recording ses-
sion and stays there until another TC Source is selected; in
this case the clock goes back to its default free-run mode.
17 OperTc Init
01h00m00s
The operator entered TC becomes the next recording ses-
sion time reference. ‘
Otc
’ is displayed in the rectangular
screen. It is disabled as soon as free-run TC from an exter-
nal source jams the internal clock.
18 Digi 1–8 Out
T1 – T6 Do M1-5 L1 Do
(
Tp1 – Tp8, see note)
The Digi7-8 AES outputs transmit the
Do
routed signals (see
OUTMAPS p.29). The Digi1-6 AES outputs can either
transmit the T1-T6 recorded iso tracks (default setting), or
the Mic 1-5 + Line-in 1 signals (see p.30).
note:
in Rec&Play it will be possible to send the eight Playback
tracks to Digi1–8 out, through the Aaton-AES mixer (September
2008).
