tracks) is given below. Note that the sequencing
software must be able to transmit MMC com-
mands and also to sync to MTC for this to be
effective:
The sequencer is set up to transmit MMC com-
mands, and is set so that it synchronizes to
SMPTE/MTC.
When a “transport” command is given from the
sequencer, the appropriate MMC command is
transmitted to the DA-98. When the DA-98 has
located and starts playback (or recording), the
MTC is transmitted back to the sequencer, which
locks in and starts at the correct point.
In this way, though the DA-98 is the timecode
master, the sequencer is the transport master.
The arrangement shown here uses 2 inputs to the
sequencer. The same effect could be achieved with
the intelligent use of filtering mechanisms.
