Synchronization
This chapter explains how to synchronize the DR16pro to additional, multiple DR16pros, DD8s, or
various other devices. The following connections and optional boards are available:
Optional IB-802T SMPTE reader/generator board for SMTPE/EBU timecode master/slave op-
eration
Optional IB-803M MIDI interface board for MIDI timecode (MTC), MIDI clock (SPP), or MIDI
machine control (MMC) synchronization
Optional IB-805R RS422 interface board for master/slave operation via RS422
SMPTE/EBU Synchronization
SMPTE/EBU timecode is an industry standard developed to allow synchronization between two
film or video devices. It has since been adopted by the audio industry, initially to enable audio-to-
video synchronization, and subsequently to allow for the synchronization of several different de-
vices.
IB-802T SMPTE Reader/Generator Board
To use SMPTE/EBU synchronization, you must install the optional IB-802T SMPTE reader/gen-
erator board. Please contact your Akai professional dealer for details.
Connection and Setup
Follow the steps below to setup the SMPTE/EBU system.
Note:
If you try to set parameters related to the SMPTE/EBU synchronization without an IB-
802T board installed, the message
NO OPTION”
will appear on the display.
To setup the system:
1) Use SMPTE/EBU timecode cables to connect the SMPTE IN jack of the IB-802T SMPTE
reader/generator board on the DR16pro to the appropriate connector on the external
device.
For timecode output, connect a cable to the SMPTE OUT jack.
Note:
Depending on the external device supplying the timecode, you may need to use an
adapter cable such as an XLR type-to-stereo phone plug.
2) Press the SUB-MENU key.
The indicator in the key will flash and the message “SUB-MENU” will appear on the display.
3) Press the SYNC(SYNC) key.
You will see a display similar to the following:
