Product: AD-8000

Topic: Analog Tape Recorder/Time Line Synchronizers/PT

Document #: 14

The best way to synchronize your 2” machine to an AD-8000 is to use a synchronizer to act as

master over the 2” transport. In this application note we will discuss the most popular

synchronizers, the Timeline Lynx systems (Lynx I, Lynx II, and Micro Lynx).

Lynx and Lynx II

The idea is to have the Lynx control the 2” transport. The time code from tape is fed into the

Lynx. The TC is then regenerated (referenced to the Lynx’s internal crystal) and output to the

USD. The USD is consequently always receiving fresh TC referenced to a stable crystal source

(the same source that is controlling the ATR transport). Your digital audio won’t suffer from the

inconsistency in speed (wow and flutter) of a “wild” analog tape recorder.

Lynx Setup (the Lynx must have firmware version 5.0 or higher)

DSPL SEL GEN

CODE TYPE for 29.97 non-drop (which is what you should be using) choose NTSC

REF SRC INT XTL (or VIDEO if using Black Burst as master sync)

GEN MODE TACH>TC

GEN ON switch to ON

DSPL SEL READER

2" ATR

LYNX firmware v. 5.0 or higher

LYNX II any firmware version UNIVERSAL SLAVE DRIVER

(for SSD or VSD use SLAVE CLOCK)

Make sure that the master reference is RDR and not VSO.

The most-recently developed synchronizer from Time Line, the Micro Lynx (with the addition of

the ACG card), can provide a Word Clock output to the AD-8000 and an MTC output directly to

the Pro Tools software via a serial cable to the Mac, effectively acting as the only necessary

synchronizer. The WC output and the regenerated TC output are synchronous providing the

best possible lock to the ATR. While a detailed description of the Micro Lynx setup is beyond the

scope of this note, the Micro Lynx manual has very good application notes describing its use as

an interface to a DAW. Setting up a Micro Lynx without the ACG card is similar to the setups

above with the following notes:

Make sure that the transport setup is not in VSO mode (should be in INT or VIDEO)

Generator output is connected to the USD as above, the analog transport (A, B, C, or D) should be

master.

The time code generator should be slave.

The Micro Lynx with the ACG card can be setup up as follows (sans the USD):
