Model 8335 (TC/SYNC card) Owner's Manual

Introduction

We wish to thank you for purchasing the Fostex Model 8335.

The Model 8335 is an optional TC/SYNC card designed exclusively for the

Model D-15 Digital Master Recorder.

By installing this TC/SYNC card in the D-15, external time codes (LTC) can be

converted to the IEC time code (set of PRO R-TIME and PRO binary) and

recorded. Furthermore, A-TIME or IEC time codes recorded on the tape can

be converted to time codes (LTC) and played back.

Also, new functions such as the CHASE function (playback only) by external

time code, phase modifying operation using WORD, VIDEO, and AES/EBU

signals will be added to further complement the D-15 function.

In addition to functions added to the D-15 by installing the Model 8335,

functions before installation and partial changes after installation are also

explained in this manual.

Before operation, we suggest that you read the D-15 manual together with

this explanation.

2. Installing the card in the D-15

Normally, Fostex Dealer or Distributor will install this card in the D-15.

Therefore, please request the dealer or distributor of purchase to do the

installation.

Major Functions

Recording external time code (LTC)

External time code (LTC) applied to the TIME CODE connector can be

converted to the IEC time code (consisting of PRO R-TIME time code and PRO

binary), which is the standard format for professional DAT time code

recording, and then recorded.

In a D-15 installed with this card, 24 and 25 fps time codes can be

automatically discriminated and recorded but 29.97 and 30 fps cannot be

discriminated. Consequently, if recording 29.97 or 30 fps time codes are to

be recorded, the D-15 must be setup matched with the time code which is

recorded by the Model 8335 SETUP menu "411 -***."

Time code (LTC) can be recorded only during recording of audio signals

(or no sound recording) and time code cannot be recorded individually.

Also, if audio insert is carried out, time code of that section will be erased.

Refer to page [16] for time code recording and page [13] for SETUP menu "411 -***."

Conversion and output of A-TIME/IEC time code to LTC

When A-TIME or IEC time code is recorded on tape, it can be converted to

LTC and output from the TIME CODE OUT connector.

The frame rate and format of the time code (LTC) to be output can be

randomly set by the SETUP mode.

Refer to page [18] for time code playback and page [11] ~ [12] for the SETUP mode.

Chase by external time code (LTC) is possible (At PLAYBACK only)

Time code chase against externally input time code is possible.

In this case, the chase mode selecting and external sync signal selecting is set

by the SETUP mode.

Refer to page [19] for chase synchronizing and page [15] for the SETUP mode.

Phase modifying operation by WORD IN, VIDEO IN, AES/EBU IN is also possible

Phase modifying operation by the external sync signal (WORD, VIDEO, AES/

EBU) is possible with the 8335 installed.

External sync signal selecting can be set by the SETUP mode.

Refer to page [21] for details on phase modifying operation by an external sync signal

and page [15] for the SETUP mode.

Time locate/memory edit by TC is possible

In addition to time locate/memory edit by A-TIME, time locate/memory edit

by TC time will be possible.

Model 8335 (TC/SYNC card) Owner's Manual

Event start by REF TC is possible

Simultaneous with the external time code (REFERENCE TC) time coinciding

with the memory [00] time, the D-15 will execute event start (playback mode).

If the D-15 GPI switch is ON during this operation, then EVENT 0 will be

output from GPI OUT.

Names and Functions

1.TIME CODE OUT connector (Connector: RCA pin jack - unbalanced)

Time code (LTC) converted from A-TIME on the tape or IEC time code is

output here.

2.TIME CODE IN connector (Connector: RCA pin jack - unbalanced)

External time code (LTC) is input here.

Because this connector is the switching type, if it is used in parallel with

the balanced connector (XLR), priority is given to the unbalanced (RCA)

connector.

3.TIME CODE OUT connector (Connector: XLR-3-32 type - balanced)

Time code (LTC) converted from A-TIME on the tape or IEC time code is

output here.

4.TIME CODE IN connector (Connector: XLR-3-31 type - balanced)

External time code (LTC) is input here.

If this is used in parallel with the unbalanced (RCA) connector, the RCA

type will be given priority and thus this connector will not function.

5.VIDEO THRU connector (Connector: BNC type)

The external video sync signal is input here when synchronizing with the

video sync signal.

6.VIDEO IN connector (Connector: BNC type)

The external video sync signal is input here when synchronizing with the

video sync signal.

7.VIDEO IN terminating switch (75 ΩON/OFF)

Termination of the VIDEO IN signal is switched ON or OFF but is normally

switched ON.

If a multiple connection is made via VIDEO THRU, then the last equipment

only is switched ON and others switched OFF.

8. WORD OUT connector (Connector: BNC type)

Word sync signals are output here.

When synchronizing with an external signal, word sync signals in sync

with the external sync signal is output here.

9. WORD IN connector (Connector: BNC type)

The external word sync signal is input here when synchronizing with the

word sync signal.

10. WORD IN terminating switch (75 ΩON/OFF)

Termination of the WORD IN signal is switched ON or OFF but is normally

switched ON.

Changes in D-15 functions and new SETUP menu items

There will be some changes in the displays and key functions by installing

the 8335 in the D-15 Furthermore, SETUP mode menu items heretofore not

effective will now be effective.

The content of these changes and now effective functions only will be

explained here. Therefore, in regards to other functions, please refer to the

D-15 Owners Manual.

Content of changes

1. TC on tape will be shown in the FL display!

2. External time code (LTC) input will be displayed as the Reference (REF

TC)!

Due to these changes in above 1. and 2., the display content will be different

as a result of the D-15 DISP TIME key operation.

[Display switching by the DISP TIME key without 8335]

[Display switching by the DISP TIME key with 8335]

(*1) TC Displays IEC time code figures recorded on tape.

(*2) A-time TC Displays the resulting time code figures when A-time recorded on the

tape is converted to time codes.

(*3) REF TC Taking the externally input time code as a Reference, it is displayed as

follows:

<Example>: When indicating 1h:34m:28s:15f, frame rate = 24

Other frame rate figures will be displayed as shown below:

3. Input monitor of audio/time code is possible!

Input monitoring of audio and time code is possible by pressing the D-15

[INPUT MONITOR] key.

However, if audio data is being read into the RAM under the INSTANT

START mode, input monitoring will be switched OFF automatically.

Refer to page [14] of the D-15 Owner's Manual on judging input monitor

conditions by the INPUT MONITOR LED.

<NOTE>

If it is desired to confirm the time code time which is being input,

change to the "REF TC" display by pressing the [DISP TIME] key so that

the time code figure being input can be confirmed.
