Chapter 5: Multiple ADAT-XT Operation
58 ADAT XT Reference Manual
If the master’s FORMAT icon is on, and you are extending the format, and the slave
tape
is
formatted:
• If the slave’s FORMAT icon is on, the slave autolocates to the same time as the
master, then format extension begins with the master.
• If the slave’s FORMAT icon is off, the slave autolocates to the same time as the
master and plays or records in sync.
J
To properly extend the format, the master and slaves should be playing in sync
before punching into format record.
MASTER FORMAT DISABLED
If the master’s FORMAT icon is off and initiates a RECORD command anywhere in
the tape and the slave’s FORMAT icon is off:
• If the slave tape is unformatted, the slave plays, but the TIME counter reads
“noFO” (no format) while flashing the FORMAT icon.
• If the slave tape is formatted, the slave autolocates to the same time as the
master and plays or records in sync,
To properly punch in, the master and slave should be in sync before punching.
Otherwise, the master will punch in immediately, but the slaves won’t punch in until
sync is achieved.
MASTER FORMAT DISABLED, FORMAT EXTEND
If the master initiates recording from the audio portion of the tape and the slave’s
FORMAT icon is on:
• If the slave tape is unformatted, the slave plays, but the TIME counter reads
“noFO” (no format) while flashing the FORMAT icon.
• If the slave’s tape is formatted, the slave autolocates to the same time as the
master and then format extension begins.
If the master initiates recording from the start of the tape and the slave’s FORMAT
icon is on, start-to-finish formatting begins regardless of whether the slave tape is
formatted or not.
