Recording On To the DA-88 From an AD-1000
Using Video Sync
1. Connect the output of your console or microphones to the
AD-1000 XLR input connectors.
2. Select the appropriate analog input (+4 CAL, –10 CAL, or
MIC) on the INPUT SELECT switch.
3. Set the front panel power switch of the AD-1000 to ADAT
when using the Apogee FC-8 Format Converter. If using the
Tascam IF-88AE, select NORM for an AES output.
4. Set the SYNC SOURCE switch to the appropriate video
type – NTSC, PAL or 60 Hz.
5. Connect an optical cable from the OPTICAL OUTPUT of
the AD-1000 to the ADAT IN of the FC-8. When viewing the
AD-1000 from the rear, the optical output is on the right side
or connect an AES cable from the AES output of the AD-
1000 to one of the AES inputs of the IF-88AE.
6. Connect a TDIF I/O cable, (Tascam part number PW-88D)
between the TDIF I/O connectors of the FC-8 and the DA-88.
7. Connect a 75Ω coaxial cable from your video sync gener-
ator to the SYNC INPUT BNC on the rear of the AD-1000,
making sure that DIP switch number 1 is on (input is termi-
nated), if this is the last device in the chain.
8. Connect a 75Ω BNC cable from the WC output of the FC-
8 (or the IF-88AE) to the Word Sync input of the DA-88.
9. Set the CLOCK of the DA-88 to WORD
(not VIDEO).
10. Select DIGITAL IN on the DA-88 and arm
the desired tracks. Remember that the left
channel of the AD-1000 will go to tracks 1,
3, 5 and 7, while the right channel goes to
tracks 2, 4, 6 and 8 of the DA-88.
