v. 2.09
Features and specifications are subject to change. Visit www.sounddevices.com for the latest documentation.
1.
Set the 744T to either 29.97DF or 29.97 respectively.
2.
Jam the camera using a LEMO-5 to BNC adapter cable connected to the time code input on the video
camera.
3.
Switch the camera to free run time code. The 744T time code should appear in the time code display on
the camera.
4.
Disconnect the time code cable.
The camera and recorder time code should now be running in sync. Check it after roughly 5 minutes
to be certain synchronization is maintained.
Video cameras are notorious for time code instability when switched off. If the video camera must be shut
down, re-jam it when it is powered back up.
Recording
The user interface of the product has been designed similar to a “tape recorder”. Recording and play-
back functions are quite similar to that of tape-based machines. The fl exibility of fi led-based record-
ing provides control not possible with tape-based recorders.
Recording
The largest, most easily accessed control on the 744T is its record key. Recording takes
priority over all activity except for disk formatting, disk speed tests, and fi le transfers. The 744T will
immediately enter record mode whenever the record key is pressed. When recording, the adjacent
red LED will illuminate to indicate that the unit is in record mode.
If no inputs are routed to tracks, recording cannot take place. Make certain that at least one record track is
assigned for recording.
While recording, the power, ff, rew, input, tone, and drive keys are disabled. Stop recording by press-
ing and holding the STOP key. The STOP key must be held for 150 ms or greater to end recording.
Although you can enter the setup menu during recording, menu items that affect recording are lined
out in the menu list.
During recording, subsequent presses of the record key can perform one of three setup-menu-se-
lected actions:
• no action,
• new cue - cue markers are set within the fi le being written,
• new fi le - a new fi le is started with each press of the record key, the take counter is increased by
one.
When removing the CF from the 744T, always observe the amber CF activity LED. If it is lit, wait until it
goes out before removing the CF. If you remove the CF while the LED is lit, the fi le will be corrupted and
there is a possibility of FAT corruption as well.
