Functions only under the positive direction one time speed time code and will repeatedly execute event start. EVEry 405 002 If the event start mode is set to "oncE" or "EVEry, " [REF] in the REF TC display will blink to indicate that it is in the event start mode. 7. Setup of time code to be recorded [rE C Fr AM 411 -***] When either 9. 97fps or 30fps external time code is to be input and recorded or when executing time code CHASE, this menu selects the frame rate which matches the external time code that is input. However, should 24fps or 25fps time codes be input, the D-15 will automatically acknowledge this. After entering the SETUP mode, rotate the [JOG] dial, select the [rECFrAM 411 -***] menu, and press the [EXECUTE/SET] key. Then, after rotating the [JOG] dial CW and CCW to select the desired frame rate, press the [EXECUTE/SET] key again (* is the initial setting). This setup content will be held even if the power is switched OFF. Functional note Fr 29. 97 Fr 30 Menu No. The 30fps time code is selected. 13 Model 8338 (TC/SYNC card) Owner's Manual 8. Setup of the CHASE operation mode [CH SE M od 501 -***] The mode for locking (chase locking) D-15 to the external time code is selected by this menu. Operating modes can be selected from "oncE, " "Cont" or "FrAME. " After entering the SETUP mode, rotate the [JOG] dial, select the [CHSEMod 501 -***] menu, and press the [EXECUTE/SET] key. Therefore, it must be noted that if audio is inserted in a no sound recorded section, the time code of that section will be erased. Connection with external equipment In order to record time codes (LTC) during recording of audio signals, the 8338 must be installed in the D-15 and external equipment connected to it as shown below. 1. Connect the external equipment time code (LTC) output to the TIME CODE IN (XLR-3-31 type or RCA) connector of 8338 installed in D-15. <NOTE> If cables are connected to both XLR (balanced) and RCA (unbalanced) connectors, RCA will have priority and thus XLR cannot be used. Connect the audio input to the D-15 DIGITAL IN (or ANALOG IN) connector.

Set the D-15 front panel [CLOCK] switch to [INT]. When an external sync signal is input as a reference to record the time code in sync with this sync signal, set the [CLOCK] switch to [EXT] using the SETUP menu "503 -***. " Set it to the external clock identical with the external sync signal (Refer to <NOTE> below). Refer to page [15] for setup of the SETUP menu "503 -***. " 2. Setup the frame rate by the SETUP menu "411 -***" when time code to be recorded is 29. 97fps or 30fps. When recording the 24fps, 25fps time codes, they will be automatically acknowledged and recorded regardless to the setting of the SETUP menu. The D-15 will automatically acknowledge 24 and 25fps time codes and record them but 29. 97 and 30fps cannot be acknowledged. Therefore, if 29. 97 or 30fps time codes are to be recorded, they must be specified by the SETUP menu "411 -***. " Refer to page [13] for setting by the SETUP menu "411-***. " 3. Start the D-15 in the record mode by pressing the [PLAY] button while pressing the [RECORD] button. 5. After completing the recording, press the [STOP] button. <NOTE> Because ASSEMBLE recording only can be made by the D-15, if recording is temporarily stopped and then resumed, continuous time code cannot be recorded. <NOTE> If a recording is made with the [CLOCK] switch at [INT], a slight deviation of the clock will be created between the recorded time code (LTC) and the inner sampling clock. In such a case, synchronize the entire system by input of an external video sync signal as a reference to the VIDEO IN connector of this equipment. 17 Model 8338 (TC/SYNC card) Owner's Manual 2. Conversion of A-TIME/IEC time code to LTC and output A-TIME or IEC time code recorded on the tape can be converted to LTC and output by installing the 8338 in the D-15. [. . . ] For operating methods of memory/locate, refer to the D-15 Owners Manual. <NOTE> To execute memory/locate with the TC time, the display must always be changed to TC. For example, when attempting to locate to the MEM NO stored in TC time in the memory, if this is executed while A-TIME is displayed, the TC time for locating will be by the A-TIME and thus be located by this time. 25 Model 8338 (TC/SYNC card) Owner's Manual 7. Editing the OFFSET Figure By installing the 8338, it will then be possible to edit memory data of TC time aside from A-TIME. The same method as when an 8338 is not installed can be used by changing the display to TC. [. . . ]
