when timecode is received, it is re-transmitted, together with the offset set on the master unit(see 10.7.5, “Set-
ting timecode offset on-the-fly”) . The slave DA-98s output reshaped timecode. When timecode is not being
received, and the 3 DA-98s are to act as a single independent multitrack recorder, the
CHASE
key of the mas-
ter DA-98 is the only key that needs to be pressed to change modes.
Each track can be individually delayed, with the delay units being selectable between milliseconds and sam-
ples, allowing even more precise synchronization.
Telecine facilities can also benefit from the extensive range of pull-up and pull-down sampling frequencies,
allowing easy synchronization, even with the non-integer ratios imposed when converting standard 24fps film
material to NTSC drop-frame color.
The DA-98 has the advantage of media compatibility with the DTRS tapes received from smaller suites and
project studios, allowing a complete multitrack soundtrack to be built up from different sources.
In addition, the integration of the DA-98 into the post-production environment is completed by its extensive
emulation facilities, allowing it to interface with a wide range of editor/controllers, reducing the need for
additional investment. As new equipment is introduced, the “future-proof” nature of the DA-98 makes it
ready for future developments
