Section 9 – Synchronization with other DTRS units
9-2 – 1.00 – 06/97
It therefore makes sense to set the machine IDs of
all DA-88s in the chain first, immediately after
connections have been made with the power off,
and then turn on power to all units before setting
the machine IDs of all DA-98s and DA-38s in the
chain.
9.2.2 Setting machine ID
1) Select menu group 3, move the cursor to
, and press
ENTER
:
2) Use the
UP
and
DOWN
keys to select a value
from
to .
9.2.3 Master/slave settings (CHASE
mode)
Each unit with an ID greater than 1 is regarded as
a slave unit.
1) On each slave unit, go to menu group 3, move
the cursor to
and press
ENTER
:
If the bottom line does not show (if it shows
), press the
UP
or
DOWN
key so that is
displayed.
2) On each slave unit, press the
CHASE
switch
[16].
The
CHASE
indicator will start flashing.
3) Press any of the transport controls on the
master unit (machine ID 1). The slave unit(s)
will synchronize and follow the transport
commands of the master.
When a slave unit is locked to the master unit, its
CHASE
indicator will light steadily.
4) To turn off chase mode on a slave unit, press
the
CHASE
switch or the
STOP
key [34] so that
the
CHASE
indicator goes off.
9.3 Machine offset
It is sometimes necessary to offset a unit in the
chain relative to the master unit. This offset can be
set to frame accuracy to a maximum value of
±02:00:00:00.
9.3.1 Setting machine offset
1) Select menu group 3, move the cursor to
, and press
ENTER

NOTE
When you set the machine IDs, you can set the ID of
any machine first, but we recommend doing this in a
standard sequence, working from the head of the chain
to the end.
NOTE
If you try to set the ID to a value other than 1 when the
synchronization cable is not connected, the display will
show an error message. Press
ESCAPE
to remove the
message and continue.

NOTE
This offset is unrelated to timecode offset and refers
only to the machine offset when synchronized to other
DTRS units.
