EXT SYNC KEY
To synchronise the DPS24 with external devices, the EXT SYNC key should be pressed:
This key enables the Time Sync [Q4] and T/C rate [Q3] selections made in the SETUP page:
If Time Sync is set to MTC MASTER or MIDI CLOCK OUT, the DPS24 will now generate
MTC or MIDI CLOCK during playback.
If it is set to MTC SLAVE or SMPTE SLAVE, the DPS24 will now only play upon reception of
external timecode. (unless the optional IB-24LTC SMPTE board is fitted, MTC SLAVE is the
only source for external MTC).
While the DPS24 is waiting for external time code, the LED of the PLAY key flashes.
In addition, the type of Time Sync source is displayed to the right of the Project info bar in the
MAIN SCREEN when the EXT SYNC key is enabled:
Also, the EXT SYNC key enables the MMC MASTER/SLAVE operation set in the SETUP / MMC page.
NOTE:
When EXT. SYNC is disabled, the Time Sync and MMC settings are ignored (same as Time
Sync OFF and MMC OFF)
