System Setup

This section of the manual will help you get RADAR24 up and running in your studio as quickly as possible.

Installation

Once you have unpacked the RADAR24 please make sure to keep the box and all of the associated packaging materials. In the unlikely event that your unit needs to be returned for service or repair, using the original shipping box will ensure that it makes the return journey in good condition.

Make sure to consider the following before installation:

! Power supply fans and hard drives make a certain amount of noise, locating the main RADAR24

unit outside of the control room is ideal.

! AES/EBU digital lines and the Session Controller extension cable can be run for about 33 meters. ! ADAT optical and TDIF digital audio connections will limit the distance between RADAR and the

mixing console to approximately 10 meters.

! If you plan on using a monitor you will need an SVGA monitor and an SVGA extension cable if you

are putting RADAR24 in a machine room.

! Make sure that you have a reliable, properly grounded A.C. power source for the RADAR24. An

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is a fabulous idea!

Making Connections

Now that you’ve decided on where to place RADAR24 in your studio, it’s time to get hooked up. The exact connections you’ll need will vary depending on the configuration of your unit so we’ve listed them all! Wiring diagrams for interfacing RADAR24 are available at our website at www.recordingtheworld.com.

Audio Cabling

Please always use the highest quality cables with your RADAR24. The cables described below are available on our website and in most music and pro audio stores around the world. Additionally, wiring diagrams are available for the do-it-yourselfer at www.recordingtheworld.com .

ANALOG

Analog cables for the RADAR24 share the same wiring scheme as analog cables for the T ASCAM DA-88 and other popular modular digital multitrack recorders. The RADAR24 end of each analog cable is a 25-pin D-sub connector that carries eight independent, balanced, line level audio signals. Altogether there ar e six cables required, three for input and three for output, for 24 channels of ultra-high quality analog audio I/O.

The other end of each analog cable typically breaks out to individual XLR or TRS connectors for connection to a console’s Tape Inputs and Buss Outputs. Another often-used approach is to wire directly into a patch bay for the ultimate in routing flexibility.

DIGITAL

There are several digital I/O options available for RADAR24 and each one has different cabling requirements.

AES/EBU 2-CHANNEL

The cable required for the AES/EBU 2-channel interface is an XLR terminated 110-ohm digital audio cable. One cable is required for 2 channels of input and an additional cable is required for 2 channels of output.

S/PDIF 2-CHANNEL

The cable required for the S/PDIF 2-channel interface is an RCA terminated 110-ohm digital audio cable. One cable is required for 2 channels of input and an additional cable is required for 2 channels of output.

AES MULTI-CHANNEL

The RADAR24 AES/EBU multi-channel I/O uses the same wiring scheme as the TASCAM DA-88 and other popular modular digital multitrack recorders. Both ends of each AES/EBU multi-channel cable are terminated with 25-pin D-sub connectors. Each cable carries eight channels of input and eight channels of output. Altogether there are three cables required for 24 channels of digital I /O. Another available cabling option breaks out to 4 male (8 outputs) and 4 female (8 inputs) XLR connectors. This type of cable is necessary for connecting to some types of mixers and certain digital audio workstations.

161616

TDIF

Audio: The RADAR24 TDIF I/O uses the same wiring scheme as the TASCAM DA-88 and other popular modular digital multitrack recorders. Both ends of each TDI F cable are terminated with a 25-pin D- sub connector. Each cable carries eight channels of input and eight channels of output. Altogether there are thr ee cables required for 24 channels of digital I/O.

Sync: In addition to the TDIF audio cabling requirements there is a TDIF word sync connection that may be necessary for interfacing under certain circumstances . This connection can be made us ing a 75-ohm, BNC terminated cable.

ADAT



Lightpipe connections can be made with any optical fiber that is approved for use with the Alesis ADAT system. Each fiber carries eight channels of digital audio. Thr ee input and three output Lightpipe fibers



provide 24 channels of ADAT

I/O.

Time Code

You can use either SMPTE or MTC (MIDI Time Code) formats for positional synchronization reference with RADAR24. All industry standard frame counts and frame rates are supported.

SMPTE

SMPTE, also known as LTC or Longitudinal Time Code, is connected using the XLR

connectors on the rear panel. The LTC inputs and outputs can be either balanced or unbalanced. The

OUT

LTC: SMPTE/EBU IN

and

LTC input has a sensitivity ranging between 100mV and 20V. The output is 1V peak to peak. This will produce a –7 VU meter reading on a +4 device like a professional analog tape machine.

Note: When using unbalanced lines, pin 3 should be connected to the shield.

MTC

MIDI time code is input and output using the

MIDI IN

and

MIDI OUT

connectors on the rear panel of the

RADAR24.

KEYBOARD

Monitor (optional)

Any standard SVGA monitor (800x600 resolution) can be attached directly to the RADAR24. The monitor connection is a 15-pin D-sub connector located on the far left of the card cage section on the back panel.

RADARLINK

RADARLINK allows multiple RADAR units to be synchronized so that they can be operated together as a single machine. The 9-pin D-sub

RLINK IN

and

RLINK OUT

connectors used for RADARLINK are located on the far right hand side of the card cage section on the rear of the unit. Connection between two units can be made using the cable supplied with a multiple unit purchase or by using any 9-pin D-sub cable that is wired pin-to-pin. These can be purchased from iZ Technology or from an electronics or computer retailer in your area.

Note: Make sure that the cable is wired pin-to-pin! Some 9-pin cables have modified pin-outs and will not work for this

Ethernet

RADAR24 ships with a 10/100 Base T Ethernet card that can be used for backing up, tr ansferring and exporting files. You can connect to an NT server or connect to a PC or a Mac in a peer-to-peer configuration. The Ethernet card is located in the card cage just to the left of the Adr enaline card, which has the active SCSI terminator on it.

Machine Control

RADAR24 supports two formats of machine control, Sony 9-pin (RS-422) and MMC or MIDI Machine Control. These control protocols allow RADAR24 to be controlled from other equipment like video decks

Configuration

Now that you have your RADAR24 hooked up and ready to go, we can help you make sure that the system settings are configured correctly for your situation.

Operating Level

You can match the input and output levels of RADAR24 with the input and output levels of other pieces of equipment in your studio. Although the inputs and outputs can be adjusted independently, all inputs share the same operating level. The same holds true for all of the outputs.

Because a zero meter reading on a digital recorder represents the absolute maximum level that can be recorded, a much lower nominal signal level should be specified. With analog VU meters, 0 VU represented this nominal signal level and above that there was “headroom”, which allowed for dynamic surges and transients. With today’s digital recorders a 0 VU signal level usually corresponds to a digital meter reading somewhere between –14 and –20. This is where the operating level of the RADAR24 comes in. There are four different settings for input level and four different settings for output level. They are:

+24 dBu – results in a digital meter reading of –20 when a 0 VU tone is applied +22 dBu – results in a digital meter reading of –18 when a 0 VU tone is applied +20 dBu – results in a digital meter reading of –16 when a 0 VU tone is applied +18 dBu – results in a digital meter reading of –14 when a 0 VU tone is applied

For digital audio transfers to a digital mixer or other digital audio device a reliable clock source is mandatory. Without proper data synchronization digital audio will exhibit pops, clicks and other unpleasant artifacts. In a film or video post environment video sync is usually distributed to all the video, audio and clock devices in the studio to ensure that every thing is synchronous with the video signal right down to the sample level. For synchronizing with analog tape decks that exhibit fluctuations in transport speed, RADAR24 can even reference to the incoming SMPTE signal. In this configuration RADAR24 will fluctuate right along with the analog master ensuring perfect synchronization at all times!

Digital I/O Format

The digital I/O formats available for selection will depend on the type and number of digital interface options installed in your RADAR24. All units ship with built in AES/EBU and S/PDIF 2-channel interfaces. The 24 channel digital I/O options available include: AES/EBU, ADAT and TDIF.

It is important to note that once a digital format is selected an appropriate clock source must be selected as well. Many times they are one and the same thing, but not always. For instance, an AES transfer may be required but the sync refere nce for all digital de vices in the studio may be a word c lock gene rator refere nced to video sync. You get the picture.

Using the

MAIN / DIGIO MENU/ DIGITAL I/O ROUTING/ MULTI CH IN TRKS

menu dialog you can choose

ALL

SELECT

which tracks will use the selected digital I/O. The tracks that are not selected will use the analog I/O.

Note: When a digital input format is specified one track must always be set to digital. To return all 24 tracks to analog input select NONE. See below.

NONE

This selection disengages the digital I/O and returns all 24 inputs to analog input.

AES/EBU 2-CHANNEL

This 2-channel format uses a single cable for 2 channels of digital audio transmission. It is unidirectional so one cable is required for input and one for output.

S/PDIF 2-CHANNEL

S/PDIF also uses a single cable for 2 channels of digital audio transmission. It is unidirectional as well so one cable is required for input and one for output. It is essentially a consumer version of AES/EBU.

AES MULTI-CHANNEL

With multi-channel AES/EBU each cable carries eight channels. This for mat is bi-dir ectional so only three cables are required for 24 channels of digital audio I/O.

232323

TDIF

This format also uses three bi-d irectional cables carr ying eight channels of audio each, for a total of 24 channels of digital I/O.

ADAT

Lightpipe optical fibers carry eight channels of digital audio. This format is unidirectional so you’ll need three

I/O.

Time Code

There are two distinct protocols of positional time code that are supported by RADAR24: SMPTE/EBU and MIDI time code or MTC. Both support all industry standard frame counts and rates. While chasing time code it is normal practice to reference RADAR24’s clock either directly to the incoming time code signal or to an external word clock or video sync source. These clock s ources ar e set s eparately in the

SYNC REFERENCE

menu.

MAIN / SYNC MENU /

242424

When slaved to an analog tape machine it is critical that RADAR24 follow any deviation in speed introduced by the tape transport. In this scenario the incoming time code is smoothed and averaged to create a stable reference signal for the internal clock of the RADAR24. Because the internal clock will constantly match the incoming clock source in this configuration, RADAR



24 will follow the master exactly, even if you use vari-

speed! In other applications where all the devices in a system are referenced to video sync (AKA black burst or

house sync), RADAR24 can be referenced to video sync directly or to a word clock generator that is in turn referenced to the video sync source. A system wide sync source is critical for video and film production and post-production work because it creates a known relationship between the positional time code and the timing information present in the video signal.
