4 - Recording In this chapter, we explain basic recording operation procedures. NOTE The maximum number of recording channels for this unit depends on the sampling frequency as follows. oo 44.1/48kHz: 64 channels oo 88.2/96kHz: 32 channels Restrictions on recording operations Due to the specifications of this unit, recording will be restricted when the total number of files and folders inside one folder becomes great. This restriction is as follows. • Recording might be restricted when the total number of files and folders inside a single folder exceeds 10,000 In this case, recording a new take from a stopped state might not be possible. If such a folder is loaded, recording to that folder might not be possible. The following pop-up message will appear in such cases. At such times, Rec Limit will also appear in the remaining recordable time area on the Home Screen. CAUTION The total number of files and folders inside a folder includes files and folders created by devices other than this unit. This also includes files and folders that ordinarily cannot be seen, including management files and system files. Setting the master clock The unit's master clock can be set. CAUTION Set up a system with multiple connected digital audio devices so that it uses only one master clock. 1. Select the CLOCK MASTER item on the GENERAL page to open the CLOCK screen. (See "Menu operation procedures" on page 16.) 2. Set the master clock. Option Internal (default) WORD VIDEO SLOT 1 SLOT 2 Meaning The unit's internal clock is used.

NOTE • When synchronizing with video clock, the frame rate of the input signal and this unit's TC FRAME TYPE setting must match. (See "TC FRAME TYPE" on page 37.) • If synchronization with the set master clock is not possible, the unit will switch to its built-in clock and an asterisk (*) will appear at the end of the selected setting name. • When synchronization with the external master clock becomes possible again, External Clock Regained. Switch to External? will appear as a pop-up message. Press the MULTI JOG dial to switch from using the built in clock to using the external clock as the master clock. Press the EXIT [PEAK CLEAR] button to close the pop-up menu and continue using the built-in clock as the master clock. In this case, * (Regained) will appear at the end of the selected setting name. • When * (Regained) appears at the end of the selected setting name, press the MULTI JOG dial to open a Switch to Regained External Clock? pop-up message. Press the MULTI JOG dial to switch from using the built in clock to using the external clock as the master clock. Press the EXIT [PEAK CLEAR] button to close the pop-up menu and continue using the built-in clock as the master clock. CAUTION When switching the master clock, noise might occur in the audio input and output. Be aware of this when choosing when to change the master clock. 22 TASCAM DA-6400/DA-6400dp
