2) Use the
UP

DOWN
keys to select between
and .
To determine whether your controller is sending
(a) locate commmands or (b) fast wind com-
mands, enter a locate operation from the remote
controller.
If a true location command is being sent, the
screen display will show the location point for a
few seconds and only the fast forward and rewind
keys will light. If the second type of command is
received, the display will not change, and the fast
forward and rewind indicators will light steadily,
and the
SHUTTLE
indicator will flash.
11.1.6 Track mapping
When a controller arms and records on tracks, you
need to specify which tracks on the controller cor-
respond to particular tracks on the DA-98. The
video controller protocol allows for control of up
to eight digital and four analog audio tracks. The
setting described here allows you to map control-
ler tracks to DA-98 tracks.
This mapping does not imply any correspondence
between the user interface of the controller and the
DA-98 tracks–it refers to the relationship between
the command signals transmitted by the controller
and the DA-98 tracks. The relationship between
the user interface of the controller and the com-
mand signals must be determined using the con-
troller itself.
1) Go to menu group 6, move the cursor to
(track mapping) and press
ENTER
:
The lines above show the analog and digital tracks
to which the DA-98 tracks on the bottom line are
currently assigned.
The terms “analog” and ‘digital” used here have
nothing to do with whether tracks actually are ana-
log or digital. They correspond to the “Analog”
and “Digital” tracks which the controller uses.
In the assignment above, therefore, when the con-
troller refers to analog track 3, it is actually
addressing DA-98 track3, and when referring to
digital track 4, it is addressing DA-98 track 8.
2) Use the
UP
and DOWN keys to select the track
mapping for use with your setup. The pre-set
options available are shown below:
There are no user-settable track mappings, but the
pre-set mappings are designed to cover every cir-
cumstance.
11.1.7 Timecode track mapping
This is a special instance of track mapping, where
the track corresponding to analog track 3 in the
controller’s command signals is mapped either to
the digital audio track selected above (11.1.6,
“Track mapping”), or to the DA-98’s dedicated
timecode track.
