YNCHRONIZING

OTHER

EQUIPMENT

TO

THE

DA-78HR

USING

SMPTE

The easiest way to do this is to simply derive SMPTE from the ABS time encoded on the tape. Using this method saves the time
required to stripe SMPTE on tape and allows the flexibility of changing frame rates as needed.

SMPTE

FROM

ABS:

Press the SHIFT key so the indicator lights.
1.

Press the MENU key until the display shows TC.

2.

Press the SUB MENU key until the display shows TAPETC.

3.

After a moment the display will change to show the currently selected TC source: ABS or TC Track. Use the UP and DOWN

ARROWS to select ABS.
4.

If you are synchronizing a sequencer to the DA-78HR you need to connect a cable from the TC OUT jack on the DA-78HR to

your MIDI interfaces SMPTE TC INPUT jack. Make sure your sequencer is set to read SMPTE time code in “SLAVE MODE.” Your
sequencer must also have the proper frame rate and start time to match the location you want to be working with on the tape.
