Wordclock signal supplied to the WORDCLOCK/VIDEO IN can be passed on to other devices using the
WORDCLOCK/VIDEO OUT/THRU connector. In situations where RADAR should act as the clock
master, wordclock can also be output from the WORDCLOCK/VIDEO OUT/THRU connector. The
function of the OUT/THRU connector can be changed in the MAIN MENU / SYNC MENU / SYNC REF
OUTPUT setting.
To switch between wordclock out and thru:
Use the key, the and keys and the key to go to the MAIN MENU / SYNC
MENU / SYNC REF OUTPUT and press the key.
Use the and keys to select WORDCLK or THRU and press the key.
VIDEO
Video sync, also known as house sync or black burst, is used to ensure thata known and accurate
synchronization relationship exists between RADAR and all other devices in the studio, particularly video
equipment.
If syncing the RADAR to video, connect a proper 75-Ohm cable from the video source output to the
WORDCLOCK/VIDEO IN connector at the rear of the RADAR.
The 75-Ohm switch provides video signal termination. This should only be ON if RADAR is the last device
in a video signal chain where a video signal and video sync are in use on the same cable. Termination
does not affect the video sync signal. If termination is ON, it is active even when the RADAR is powered
off.
The video sync frequency value displayed in the SYNC REFERENCE dialogue will depend
on the timecode rate setting of the SYNC MENU not the rate of the incoming video sync
signal.
SMPTE / MTC
Although SMPTE and MTC are primarily positional synchronization references, in some situations it is
necessary for RADAR to track less than ideal timing sources such as a 2" multi-track recorder or MIDI
sequencer. In this instance RADAR uses the incoming timecode as a clock reference as well. When
referenced to SMPTE or MTC the RADAR will flawlessly track any variations in the speed of the master.
The timecode frequency value displayed in the SYNC REFERENCE dialogue will depend
on the timecode rate setting of the SYNC MENU not the rate of the incoming timecode
signal.
MIDI Timecode is a high distortion, slow lock speed format and is not recommended as a
sync reference.
