Model D2424LV Reference Manual (Names and Functions)
19
The recorder display integrates the level meter of a high-visibility FL tube with a 16 digits and 35 dot message
display. The level meter shows the Track 1-24 output level of the recorder section. The time display shows
the current time of the recorder section using ABS TIME (Absolute time), MTC (MIDI time code), or MIDI BAR/
BEAT (bar/beat). This display also shows messages required for interactive operation. The following section
explains the display functions and provides with some examples.
Display section
1. Display shown when the power is turned on
When you turn on the power to the recorder and the connected E-IDE hard disk (a formatted hard disk), the
display shows the [Initializing...] message, [Current Dr], the name of the connected current drive, then recording
mode (Standard format, etc.), and finally the top position of the disk in the time base (ABS, MTC, or BAR/
BEAT/CLK) used in the last Program before you turned the power off.
The following example indicates that the recorder started with the ABS Time Base used in Program 1.
<for song data>
[DATA OUTPUT] 1-8
must be used (the other connectors
do not feed song data).
<for S/P DIF digital signals>
[DATA OUTPUT] 1-8
feeds the signal for tracks 1-2.
[DATA OUTPUT] 9-16
feeds the signal for tracks 3-4.
[DATA OUTPUT] 17-24
feeds the signal for tracks 5-6.
<for adat digital signals>
[DATA OUTPUT] 1-8
feeds the signal for tracks 1-8.
[DATA OUTPUT] 9-16
feeds the signal for tracks 9-16.
[DATA OUTPUT] 17-24
feeds the signal for tracks 17-24.
15. DATA INPUT connectors [1-8, 9-16, 17-24]
(Connector: OPTICAL)
These connectors receive song data (sound data +
various setup data) from an external digital device,
as well as receive S/P DIF or adat digital signals from
external digital equipment (such as DAT recorder,
MD recorder, CD player, adt equipment/digital
mixer, etc.).
Depending on usage, the appropriate connectors
should be used as follow.

87
” for information about “LOAD”
function.

45
” for information “Digital Recording.”
13. MIDI Input/Output/Thru connector
(Connector: DIN 5-pin)
MIDI INPUT:
Connect the
[MIDI OUTPUT]
connector of an external MIDI
device here. The recorder can be controlled remotely
via an external MMC (MIDI Machine Control) or FEX
(Fostex System Exclusive Message).
MIDI OUTPUT:
Connect the
[MIDI INPUT]
connector of the external MIDI
device here. The recorder will output MTC (MIDI Time
Code), MIDI Clock signal, MMC (MIDI Machine Control)
response, and FEX (Fostex System Exclusive Message)
response.
MIDI THRU:
This connector outputs the input signal at the
[MIDI
INPUT]
connector without modification. When using
multiple recorders via MIDI, connect this terminal to
the
[MIDI INPUT]
connector of the second recorder.
12. SCSI connector [SCSI]
(Connector: half-pitch 50-pin)
Connect a backup SCSI device to SAVE/LOAD data.
Up to one SCSI devices can be connected to the SCSI
connector.
* Refer to page “
93
” for more details on SAVE/LOAD
using a SCSI device.
14. DATA OUTPUT connectors [1-8, 9-16, 17-24]
(Connector: OPTICAL)
Feed song data of the D2424LV (sound data + various
setup data) for saving data to an external digital
device, as well as feed S/P DIF or adat digital signals
to external digital equipment.
Depending on usage, the appropriate connectors
should be used as follows.
<for song data>
[DATA INPUT] 1-8
must be used (the other connectors do
not receive song data).
<for S/P DIF digital signals>
[DATA INPUT] 1-8
receives S/P DIF signal and routes to
tracks 1-2.
[DATA INPUT] 9-16
and
[DATA INPUT] 17-24
do not receive
any signal.
<for adat digital signals>
[DATA INPUT] 1-8
receives adat signals and routes to tracks
1 through 8.
[DATA INPUT] 9-16
receives adat signals and routes to
tracks 9 through 16.
[DATA INPUT] 17-24
receives adat signals and routes to
tracks 17 through 24.
<Note>
The [DATA INPUT] and [DATA OUTPUT] connectors do
not support 96kHz FS adat digital signals.
