03D with DA-38 (Timecode on Tape Track)
This application shows how the 03D can be used with a Tascam DA-38 to create an
18-input, 7-track digital recording system. As shown in Figure 23, track eight of the DA-38
has been striped with SMPTE timecode. This is then fed to the Midiman Syncman Plus,
which converts the SMPTE to MTC and feeds it to the 03D. The seven digital tape returns
and 18 Mic/Line inputs provide up to 25 inputs at mixdown. In addition, the 03D's built-in
automix and scene memories provide both dynamic and static mix automation referenced
to timecode.
The Midiman Syncman Plus is an SMPTE to MTC converter and MTC generator. Front
panel DIP switches are used to select the timecode type when working as a generator. For
SMPTE to MTC conversion the frame rate is detected and set automatically.
Connections
• The Tascam (CD8-TD) card must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws
out after installation as the card will not be grounded correctly.
• The Tascam digital audio cable (PW-88DL) carries the eight tape sends and eight tape
returns.
• YGDAI digital outputs can be configured as bus outs, aux sends, input channel direct
outs, or stereo outs. So although the 03D is a four-bus mixer, assigning the four buses
and four aux sends, or the channel direct outs, to the YGDAI outputs allows eight-track
simultaneous recording. YGDAI output assignments are made on the D.out Setup page,
which can be located using the [DIO] button.
• YGDAI digital inputs feed 03D input channels 17 through 24.
• DA-38 track eight is striped with SMPTE timecode. Track eight analog out (phono) is
connected to the Syncman Plus.
03D Wordclock Setup
The 03D works as a wordclock slave. Any pair of YGDAI digital inputs can be selected as the
wordclock source. Use the [DIO] button to locate the D.in Setup page for wordclock
settings.
DA-38 Wordclock Setup
The DA-38 works as wordclock master. The sampling rate is set when the DA-38 tape is
formatted. This can be either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz. After formatting, the sampling rate is
determined by the formatted tape.
Notes
• 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) are available
from Tascam.
• With an optional MMC-38, which converts Tascam sync signals to MTC, the DA-38
could be used as an 8-track recorder, with track 8 free for audio recording. In this case,
the Sync Out connector on the DA-38 would connect to the Remote In connector in the
MMC-38.
