ware must be able to transmit MMC commands and
also to sync to MTC for this to be effective:
The sequencer is set up to transmit MMC commands,
and is set so that it synchronizes to SMPTE/MTC.
When a “transport” command is given from the
sequencer, the appropriate MMC command is trans-
mitted to the DA-98HR. When the DA-98HR 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-98HR is the timecode
master, the sequencer is the transport master.
The arrangement shown here uses two inputs to the
sequencer. The same effect could be achieved with
the intelligent use of filtering mechanisms and one
input to the sequencer.
