Fostex 8348 User Manual

Model 8348 (TC/SYNC card for the Model DV824)

The Model 8348 is the TC/SYNC card dedicated to the DV824 DVD multitrack recorder.

By installing the TC/SYNC card to the DV824, the DV824 can stripe an external time code, chase an external LTC, lock to a video clock, and synchronize to a film machine, in addition to the capability of locking to a word clock which is provided with the DV824 as standard.

These functions are useful in various environments such as video post productions where audio and video synchronization is essential, digital recording studios where the DV824 and a digital mixer are used together in the system.

<Note on installing the Model 8348>

The TC/SYNC card should be installed into the DV824 at a Fostex service station. Do not try to install the card by yourself. Ask your local Fostex dealer for the installation after purchasing the Model 8348.

<The DV824 which can be used with the Model 8348>

The 8348 can be installed only to a DV824 whose version is 1.10 or higher. If the version of your DV824 is older than 1.10, your local Fostex dealer will upgrade your DV824 before installing the TC/ SYNC card.

<Instructions of how to use the Model 8348>

For instructions of how to use the DV824 with the Model 8348, see the DV824 owner’s manual (supplied with the DV824) and the supplementary manual for V1.10.
