WHAT IS THE DIGITAL TIMEPIECE?

Think of the Digital Timepiece as the synchroni-

zation hub for your recording studio. It provides

stable, centralized synchronization services for

most analog, digital audio, and video equipment

found in today’s recording studio. Until now,

locking together ADAT™, DA-88™, Pro Tools™,

word clock audio devices, S/PDIF devices, video

decks, SMPTE time code devices, MIDI Machine

Control devices and computers has been difﬁcult

— if not impossible. The Digital Timepiece can

connect to all of these types of devices and

synchronize them with one another.

A computer is not required

You do not need a computer to use a Digital

Timepiece. Essential settings are available directly

on the front panel. Once you choose an operational

mode with the TIME BASE controls, the Digital

Timepiece will generate or convert all forms of

synchronization necessary to keep all connected

devices synchronized with one another.

Degrees of accuracy

Digital audio devices found in today’s studio

support varying degrees of accuracy when it comes

to synchronization. The Digital Timepiece supplies

the best possible accuracy for each type of device

that it supports. Most devices fall into the following

basic categories of accuracy:

■

Sample accurate sync

■

Frame-accurate sync with phase lock

■

Frame-accurate sync with no phase lock

■

Frame-accurate triggering
