02R with Four DA-88s
This application shows how the 02R can be used with four Tascam DA-88s to create a
24-input, 32-track digital recording system, providing 32-track digital mixdown. In
addition, the 02R’s built-in automation and scene memory systems provide both dynamic
and static mix automation referenced to timecode.
Connections
• The Tascam (CD8-TD) cards must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws
out after installation as the cards will not be grounded correctly.
• DA-88–A is connected to Slot [1] of the 02R and the tape inputs correspond to tracks
one through eight (Tape In 1–8). DA-88–B is connected to Slot [2] of the 02R and the
tape inputs correspond to tracks nine through sixteen (Tape In 9–16). DA-88–C is
connected to Slot [3] of the 02R and the tape inputs correspond to tracks 17 through 24
(Line In 1–8). DA-88–D is connected to Slot [4] of the 02R and the tape inputs
correspond to tracks 25 through 32 (Line In 9–16).
• The optional SY-88 Sync Board is required for DA-88–A. This enables the dedicated
timecode track, which can be re-striped at anytime, and provides SMPTE timecode and
MTC outputs. A timecode offset can be specified on DA-88–A.
02R Wordclock Setup
On the DIGITAL I/O menu, the wordclock source should be set to W.CLK.
DA-88 Wordclock Setup
DA-88–A works as wordclock master. Wordclock is fed to the 02R using a BNC to BNC
cable, and to the other DA-88s using PW-88S 15-pin sync cables. The sampling rate is set
when the DA-88 tapes are formatted. This can be either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz. After
formatting, the sampling rate is determined by the formatted tape.
Notes
• The DA-88s must be powered up even when they are not being used. Failure to do so may
cause an intermittent pumping noise on the 02R.
• DA-88–A is set to MACHINE ID 0, DA-88–B to MACHINE ID 1, DA-88–C to
MACHINE ID 2, and DA-88–D to MACHINE ID 3. Since DA-88–A works as the
Control Master, it should be used for synchronized transport and locate operations.
• The optional Tascam SY-88 Sync Board must be installed in DA-88–A to use SMPTE
timecode and MTC. This is available from Tascam. The other DA-88s do not require
SY-88 Sync Boards and their tapes do not have to be striped with timecode. They are
synchronized to DA-88–A via the PW-88S 15-pin sync cables.
• The terminator bundled with a PW-88S sync cable should be connected to the SYNC
OUT on DA-88–D to ensure reliable synchronization.
• The rear panel of the SY-88 Sync Board has a DIP switch labeled MODE. Set DIP
switches 2 and 5 to ON (O). Set internal switch 8 on the SY-88 board marked S2 to ON.
• To use the MTC function, the SY-88 firmware must be version 3.08 or higher.
• On the Tascam (CD8-TD) card there is a DIP switch that should be set to 16-bit. This is
the initial setting, but you should confirm it. This switch is for use with Tascam High-Bit
recording applications.
• Tascam 25-pin digital audio cables PW-88DL (5 m) and PW-88D (1 m), and the 15-pin
PW-88S sync cable are available from Tascam.
