Sync system with “adat” by the slave mode
This section will explain the sync system using “adat” equipment.
* Initialize FD-8.
* Confirm the program.
* Set adat and FD-8 to the same sampling frequency.
Equipment connections
Make connections, respectively, adat DIGITAL OUT to FD-8 DATA IN, and adat MIDI OUT to FD-8 MIDI IN.
Setup of adat (master)
1. Setup for output of MTC.
2. Setup the MTC frame rate to be output.
3. Check the MTC time to be output.
4. If necessary, set to allow output of “adat” digital signals.
This is unnecessary for the adat.
* Refer to the adat Owner’s Manual for details.
Setting on the FD-8 (slave)
1. Set the same frame rate as the adat for the “MTC frame rate setting” in the Setup mode.
* Refer to “MTC frame rate setting” in Setup mode on page 104 for the operation and more information.
2. Select a desired mode for “MTC offset mode setting” in the Setup mode. (*)
* Refer to “MTC Offset mode setting” in Setup mode on page 105 for the operation and more information.
3. “MTC offset time setting” in Setup mode allows you to set the MTC time to start the Chase lock operation. (*)

4. Set Slave mode [on] for “Slave mode setting” in Setup mode, and select [AdAt] as a slave mode type for
“Slave mode type setting” in Setup mode.
Note:
In order to slave operate adat equipment and the FD-8, the best setting is to supply “adat” digital signals together with MTC
from the master unit.
