8 – DTRS synchronization–DTRS emulation
TASCAM DA-98HR
51
Therefore, for a chain of three units; a DA-98HR as
master, with a DA-88 and DA-38 as slaves, the
machines’ IDs should be set as follows:
It therefore makes sense to set the machine IDs of all
DA-88s in the chain first, immediately after connec-
tions have been made with the power off, and then
turn on power to all units before setting the machine
IDs of all other DTRS units in the chain.
NOTE
When you set the machine IDs, you can set the ID of any
machine first, but we recommend doing this in a standard
sequence, working from the head of the chain to the end.
8.2.2
Setting machine ID
1
Select menu group 3, move the cursor to
Mcn
ID
, and press
ENTER
:
2
Use the
§
and
¶
keys to select a value from
1
to
16
.
NOTE
If you try to set the ID to a value other than
1
when the
synchronization cable is not connected, the display shows
an error message. An error message is also displayed at
this time in the case of a sampling frequency mismatch.
Press
ESCAPE
to remove the message , reset the ID or
correct the sampling frequency, and continue.
8.2.3
Master/slave settings (CHASE
mode)
Each unit with an ID greater than 1 is regarded as a
slave unit.
1
On each slave unit, select menu group 3, move
the cursor to
TimeMode
and press
ENTER
:
If the bottom line does not show
ABS
(that is,
if it shows
TC
), press the
§
key so that
ABS
is displayed.
2
On each slave unit, press the
CHASE
key
The
CHASE
indicator starts to flash.
3
Press any of the transport controls on the mas-
ter unit (machine ID 1). The slave unit(s) syn-
chronize and follow the transport commands
of the master.
When a slave unit is locked to the master unit,
its
CHASE
indicator lights steadily.
4
To turn off chase mode on a slave unit, press
the
CHASE
switch or the
STOP
key
so that
the
CHASE
indicator goes off.
8.3
DTRS emulation
When connecting a DA-98HR in a chain to be con-
trolled by an RC-848 or a pre-HR update RC-898
remote controller, or by one of the TM-D series of
TASCAM digital mixing consoles, it may be neces-
sary to emulate another model in the series.
1
Select menu group A, move the cursor to
DeviceTyp
and press
ENTER
:
2
Select the emulation as explained below.
The default is (naturally)
DA-98HR
, but
you can use the
§
and
¶
keys to select any of
the following:
DA-88
(DA-88 post-V4 with
SY-88 fitted giving all timecode functions when
working as a slave with ID 2 or greater),
DA-
38
(DA-88 pre-V4, with track copy) and
DA-98
(DA-88 post-V4) or
DA-78HR
.
