The D2424LV is a digital recorder using a 3.5 inch E-IDE hard disk recording media for recording/ playback/editing in 24 real tracks plus 32 additional tracks. In addition to non-compression recording at quantization 16 bit/44.1kHz or 48kHz, 24 bit/44.1kHz or 48kHz, 24 bit/88.2kHz or 96kHz, the D2424LV is also equipped with adat input/output (by switching from S/P DIF). Besides analog simultaneous record/playback, because it also complies with digital recording (S/P DIF or adat) using DATA input/output and simultaneous recording of analog input plus digital input (S/P DIF or adat), a full digital recording system can be built by combining the D2424LV with various digital mixers. In regards to save/load of song data, in addition to using adat digital signals and S/P DIF digital signals, high speed backup of FDMS-3 Ver. 3.0/WAV file through the standard feature SCSI connector, is also possible. Furthermore, by installing an optional Model 9044 (BAY+CADDY), an E-IDE hard disk for backup or the optional Model 9046 (DVD-RAM drive) can be installed enabling high speed backup of FDMS-3 Ver. 3.0/WAV files. For optional units, Model 8346 TC/SYNC card is available and these will also comply to phasing of the standard feature WORD clock and also phasing against slave control by external LTC and VIDEO reference signals. Please carefully read through this manual together with the separate "Quick Operation Guide" for long and satisfying operation of this equipment.
