Connection examples
Connection example for recording (1)
The following shows the example of using the PD-6 with microphones, which makes the
best use of the PD-6 and can be applied to news gathering, audio recording for film, etc.
In the example below, audio signals from microphones and time code generated by the
external time code generator are simultaneously recorded to the PD-6, while the same
time code is also recorded to the VTR along with a video camera signal.
Up to six microphones can be connected to the PD-6 input channels. Each of the input
channels provides the phantom power supply, gain control, limiter and high-pass filter,
allowing the PD-6 to accept any kinds of microphones.
The external time code generator output is connected to both the VTR’s time code input
and the PD-6 [TIME CODE IN] connector. Using the PD-6 jam function, the PD-6 time
code generator can run with extreme accuracy after it locks to the external time code.
Therefore, you can make PD-6 recording in sync with the VTR even if you disconnect
the time code input after the PD-6 generator locks to the external time code. When the
external time code is disconnected, the internal generator runs with its own crystal
(when the TC GEN mode is set to “FREE RUN”).
See “Chapter 5: Recording/playback” on page 72 for details about the jam function.
