[TIME BASE] Area

You can choose between

[INT], [MTC], [MIDI CLK], and [SMPTE] Timecode

to drive the system. The timecode area will display the input timecode as
soon as it recognizes the time base status.

You can select:

[MTC] MIDI Timecode

[SMPTE] SMPTE timecode (valid only when the SMPTE option card
is installed)

[MIDI CLK] MIDI clock

[INT] Internal timecode

Next to the

[TIME BASE] selection field, there is a field for the display

of the time code type. When using SMPTE or MTC, the DA7 will
automatically sense the type of timecode and set the mixer accordingly.
You cannot adjust this field.

It will display the frame rate of the timecode being used. The frame
rates of timecode the DA7 can accept from SMPTE or MTC are:

[ND], 30 frames per second using non-drop frame timecode

[DF], 30 frames per second using drop frame timecode (this equals,
29.97 frames per second)

[25], 25 frames per second

[24], 24 frames per second
