34 02R Applications 12 Two 02Rs with Four DA-88s This application shows how two 02Rs can be used with four Tascam DA-88s to create a 48-input, 32-track digital recording system. The 32 digital tape returns and 48 Mic/Line inputs provide up to 80 inputs at mixdown. The two 02Rs are cascaded together using a 25-pin straight cable and two CD8-CS Cascade cards, which are installed in Slot [3] of each 02R (could be Slot [4]). The cascade connection carries the eight buses, any four of the eight AUX buses, Stereo bus, and Solo bus. This allows both consoles to work together as one large 80-input mixing console. The master section of 02R-B is used for monitoring and two-track operations. The studio monitors and two-track recording equipment are also connected to this 02R. Connections • The Tascam (CD8-TD) cards must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws out after installation as the cards will not be grounded correctly. • DA-88-A is connected to Slot [1] of 02R-A and the tape inputs correspond to tracks one through eight (Tape In 1-8). DA-88-B is connected to Slot [2] of 02R-A and the tape inputs correspond to tracks nine through sixteen (Tape In 9-16). DA-88-C is connected to Slot [1] of 02R-B and the tape inputs correspond to tracks 17 through 24 (Tape In 1-8). DA-88-D is connected to Slot [2] of 02R-B and the tape inputs correspond to tracks 25 through 32 (Tape In 9-16). PW-88DL cables are available from Tascam. • The optional SY-88 Sync Board is required for DA-88-A. This enables the dedicated timecode track, which can be re-striped at anytime, and provides SMPTE timecode and MTC outputs. A timecode offset can be specified on DA-88-A. 02R Wordclock Setup On the DIGITAL I/O menu, the wordclock source should be set to W.CLK. DA-88 Wordclock Setup DA-88-A works as wordclock master. Wordclock is fed to the 02R using a BNC to BNC cable, and to the other DA-88s using PW-88S 15-pin sync cables, available from Tascam. The sampling rate is set when the DA-88 tapes are formatted. This can be either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz. After formatting, the sampling rate is determined by the formatted tape. Notes • The DA-88s must be powered up even when they are not being used. Failure to do so may cause an intermittent pumping noise on the 02R. • DA-88-A is set to MACHINE ID to 0, DA-88-B to MACHINE ID to 1, DA-88-C to MACHINE ID 2, and DA-88-D to MACHINE ID 3. Since DA-88-A works as the Control Master, it should be used for synchronized transport and locate operations. • The optional Tascam SY-88 Sync Board must be installed in DA-88-A to use SMPTE timecode and MTC. This is available from Tascam. The other DA-88s do not require SY-88 Sync Boards and their tapes do not have to be striped with timecode. They are synchronized to DA-88-A via the PW-88S 15-pin sync cables. • The terminator bundled with a PW-88S sync cable should be connected to the SYNC OUT on DA-88-D to ensure reliable synchronization. • The rear panel of the SY-88 Sync Board has a DIP switch labeled MODE. Set DIP switches 2 and 5 to ON (O). Set internal switch 8 on the SY-88 board marked S2 to ON. • To use the MTC function, the SY-88 firmware must be version 3.08 or higher.
