Yamaha 02R & 03D Applications Guide Yamaha 02R & 03D Applications Guide Introduction 1 Introduction This Applications Guide provides detailed examples of real-life 02R and 03D recording systems. The application diagrams show exactly what equipment is needed for each system and how to connect and make the relevant settings. The 02R and 03D feature as the main components throughout the applications, with various equipment by other manufacturers introduced to form complete systems. Equipment in this Guide The applications in this guide show how the 02R and 03D can be used with complementary equipment from other manufacturers to create complete recording and mixing systems. For those not familiar with 02R and 03D complementary equipment, here's a brief description of several such products. Akai DR8 & DR16 The Akai DR8 is a digital hard disk recorder featuring 8-track simultaneous recording and playback. The optional ADAT (IB-804A) interface card provides 8-channel digital I/O with an 02R or 03D. The DR16 is a 16-track hard disk recorder featuring 8-track recording and 16-track playback. The optional ADAT (IB804AEX) interface card, for use only with the DR16, provides 8 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs. Alesis ADAT Professional Digital Audio Recorder This is the original ADAT format recorder made by Alesis. It's an eight-track recorder and uses standard S-VHS tapes. It features 16-bit, 64-times oversampling AD/DA converters, and a sampling rate of 48 kHz. A 120 minute S-VHS tape provides a total recording time of 40 minutes. Up to 16 ADATs can be connected together for a fully synchronized, sample accurate 128 track recording system. Digital I/O consists of Alesis optical connectors. These can be connected directly to an 02R or 03D with an optional CD8-AT Digital I/O card. The LRC Remote Control, which duplicates the front panel controls, comes as standard, and a full function BRC Master Remote Control is available as an option. Alesis BRC Master Remote Control The BRC Master Remote Control provides complete synchronized remote control of up to 16 ADATs, for 128-track recording. Sample accurate digital copy and paste editing allows digital audio data to be transferred between ADATs with no signal degradation. In addition, the BRC reads and writes SMPTE timecode, generates MIDI Timecode and MIDI clocks, reads and generates wordclock, and reads composite video sync. Autolocation provides multiple locate points per song. Seamless punch in/out is assisted with variable crossfade. Alesis AI-2 Multipurpose Audio/Video Synchronization Interface The Alesis AI-2 Multipurpose Audio/Video Synchronization Interface supports SMPTE timecode, Sony 9-pin protocol, video sync, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sampling rates, and MIDI Timecode. So ADATs can easily be slaved to video and audio master recorders. At the same time, the AI-2 can provide timecode via its timecode output, which can be fed to the 02R for use with automix. Alesis M20 The Alesis M20 is a 20-bit, 8-track digital multitrack recorder. It can be connected to the 02R or 03D digital mixers, which both support a maximum wordlength of 24 bits, using existing CD8-AT interface cards, which do not require modification or special settings. Yamaha 02R & 03D Applications Guide 2 Introduction Fostex D-90 8-track Digital Recorder The Fostex D-90 is a digital hard disk recorder featuring 8-track simultaneous recording and playback and ADAT I/O as standard. Fostex RD-8 Digital Multitrack Recorder The Fostex RD-8 Digital Multitrack Recorder uses the same eight-track digital format as the Alesis ADAT, making it fully compatible. Digital I/O, Sync I/O, and meter bridge connections are also compatible with those of the ADAT. The RD-8 can be connected directly to an 02R or 03D with an optional CD8-AT Digital I/O card. The RD-8 features an on-board synchronizer for synchronization to a master recorder via timecode. Timecode offset and MIDI Machine Control are supported. LTC can be recorded on a dedicated timecode track. There are 100 locate points and variable pre and post roll times. Essentially, the RD-8 is an ADAT with some of the features of the BRC Master Remote Control and AI-2 Multipurpose Audio/Video Synchronization Interface on-board. JL Cooper Datasync-2 Synchronizer The JL Cooper Datasync-2 Synchronizer is a relatively low cost synchronizer that can be used to convert ADAT format sync to SMPTE timecode and MTC. It can be used to set up a cost-effective, fully synchronized 02R or 03D and ADAT digital recording system. Midiman Syncman Plus The Midiman Syncman Plus is an SMPTE to MTC converter and MTC generator. Front panel DIP switches are used to select the timecode type when working as a generator. For SMPTE to MTC conversion the frame rate is detected and set automatically. TASCAM DA-88 & DA-38 Digital Multitrack Recorders The TASCAM DA-88 Digital Multitrack Recorder is an eight-track digital recorder that uses 8 mm video tape and a 4-head mechanism. It features 16-bit AD/DA converters and 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sampling rates. A 120 minute tape provides a recording time of 108 minutes. Up to 16 DA-88s can be connected together for a fully synchronized, sample accurate 128-track recording system. Digital I/O consists of a TASCAM TDIF-1 connector. This can be connected directly to an 02R or 03D with an optional CD8-TDII Digital I/O card. The TASCAM DA-38 is a lower-cost Digital Multitrack Recorder aimed at musicians, and provides full compatibility with tapes recorded on the DA-88. TASCAM SY-88 Sync Board The optional TASCAM SY-88 Sync Board provides versatile synchronization facilities for the TASCAM DA-88. It features on-board SMPTE and MIDI timecode generators, an RS422 video editor connection, and video sync inputs. An SY-88 Sync Board is essential for synchronization with 02R or 03D automation. In a multiple DA-88 system, only the Control Master DA-88 needs to have an SY-88 Sync Board installed. Control slaves do not need SY-88 Sync Boards. Also, only the tape used in the Control Master DA-88 needs to be striped with timecode. TASCAM MMC-38 Interface Unit The optional TASCAM MMC-38 Interface Unit provides versatile synchronization facilities for the TASCAM DA-38. It features on-board SMPTE and MIDI timecode generators, and is essential for synchronization with 02R or 03D automation. Yamaha 02R & 03D Applications Guide DIGITAL RECORDING CONSOLE 02R 02R Applications 5 System Operating Notes 02R · 02R interface cards must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws out after installation as the cards will not be grounded correctly. · If a crackling noise can be heard, make sure not more than one device is set to internal wordclock. One device should be set for internal wordclock (master) and all other devices should be set to external wordclock (slave). · To see the version number of an 02R, hold down the UTILITY button while turning on the 02R. 02R Cascade · In a cascaded 02R system, the ID parameter on the Cascade Configuration display must be set correctly. The setting determines the amount of delay compensation. The ID parameter is available only when a CD8-CS Cascade card is installed. The ID on the first 02R in a cascade system does not need to be set. In fact, because the IN/OUT switch on the Cascade card in the first 02R is set to OUT, the ID parameter cannot be set. The next 02R should be set to ID 1, the next to ID 2, and the last to ID 3, as shown below. ID=0 ID=1 ID=2 ID=3 02R-A 02R-B 02R-C 02R-D · The CD8-CS Cascade kit contains two CD8-CS cards and one 25-pin straight cable. ADAT · To use the ADAT's DIGITAL INPUT, press the DIGITAL IN button on the ADAT. Do not press the DIGITAL I/O button on the BRC. · Set the DIGITAL I/O button on the BRC to OFF. This function is for direct ping-pong between multiple ADATs. If this is turned ON while connected to an 02R, bus assignments will produce unexpected results. Press the DIGITAL IN button on the ADAT to use the DIGITAL INPUT. · To check the ADAT wordclock source, press the SET LOCATE and DIGITAL IN buttons together. The display will show "int" for internal or "digi" for ...
