INTRODUCTION - 1
FEATURES
• 8-track operation with immediate removability on Magneto Optical (MO) disk (no back-
up required) or removable hard disks. Record times for one side of a 2.6Gbyte MO disk
are 3 hours 40 minutes of mono 16-bit recording at 48kHz and 4 hours of mono 16-bit at
44.1kHz. Effective playback time can be extended using extra MO drives and up to
seven drives in total may be connected using SCSI.
• Plug-and-Play replacement for the Tascam DA-88
• Options include SMPTE/EBU IN and OUT (at all frame rates), Bi-phase IN and OUT, and
RS422 (Sony™ P2 9-pin protocol) .
• The DD8 will convert SMPTE/EBU to Bi-phase and vice versa.
• The DD8 can follow external timecode backwards and forwards, even at slow speeds.
• Wordclock and video sync inputs fitted as standard allowing synchronisation to house
sync, digital audio and PAL/SECAM and NTSC video sync sources.
• 20-bit digital to analogue converters (DACs) with 8 x oversampling and software adjust-
able operating level.
• 24-bit analogue to digital converters (ADCs) with 128 x oversampling and software ad-
justable operating level.
• Custom LSI dedicated for signal processing ensures fast and reliable operation.
• 32 channel ‘polyphony’ allows long crossfades or overlaps to be achieved within a single
track and across all 8 tracks simultaneously.
• Dedicated MTR-style transport keys for play, stop, rewind, fast forward and record.
• The JOG wheel allows you to ‘scrub’ audio across all 8-tracks for editing.
• AKAINET link (a subset of the Ethernet protocol) fitted as standard to allow true remote
control of multiple DD8s from a single DL1500 controller with virtually no limit on dis-
tance.
• 16, 20 and 24-bit audio recording capabilities
• Direct playback of files created on a variety of other manufacturers digital audio worksta-
tions.
