EXAMPLE SETUPS

DEVICES THAT CANNOT ACT AS A SLAVE

If you have a multitrack tape deck or other device

in your studio that cannot slave to time code, you

must use this device as your time base and time

code master and slave all other devices to it via the

Digital Timepiece.

The most common examples of this type of device

are an analog multi-track tape decks and video

tape recorders.

If you have more than one such device (both an

analog tape deck and a video deck, for example),

you will not be able to synchronize both with the

rest of your gear. Instead, you’ll have to choose one,

and think about replacing the other with a similar

device that does have the ability to sync to an

external time base. For example, you could keep

your video deck and replace your analog tape deck

with an Alesis ADAT or Tascam DA-88. These

devices can be slaved to the Digital Timepiece,

allowing you to drive them from your video deck

(Figure 5-3).

Alternately, you could keep your multi-track and

replace your video deck with one that supports

SONY 9-pin synchronization, which would allow it

to be driven externally from the Digital Timepiece

as shown in Figure 5-4.

slave to external time code, make it the time base master as shown

here. Note that the video deck in this conﬁguration must support

SONY 9-pin in order for it to be slaved to the Digital Timepiece.
