This paragraph explains the control system vU computer using MMC (MIDI Machine
Control), and the synchronization system using MTC (MIDI Time Code) output
from the DMT-8 vl
The DMT-8vx can output MTC at any frame rate by adding a time offset (with a
time difference of less than six hours) to the ABS (absolute) time of the hard disk.
You can also control the DMT-8vt from an external device by sending MMC (MIDI
Machine Control) or Fostcx System Exclusive Messages. In this case, you will set a
DEVICE ID number In the -DEVICE" parameter of Setup mode on the DMT-8VL
Therefore, multiple DMT-8VU can be controlled individually by changing the DEVICE
ID number within the messages sent from the computer.
Refer to -MMC List" on page *137- for more Information on MMC. and to -Fostcx System
Exclusive list" on page "138" for more information on Fostex System Exclusive Messages.
