TASCAM DA-6400/DA-6400dp 294 – RecordingSettings for IF-MA64/EX and IF-MA64/BNcards8 MADI INPUT STATUSThis shows the channel mode/frame frequency of the MADIinput signal.Example: 64ch/32ch 48kHzIf there is no input signal, no signal is shown.8 MADI INPUT FRAMEThis shows the MADI input signal frame type (48K Frame/96KFrame).If there is no input signal, no signal is shown.8 MADI INPUT SELECT (IF-MA64/EX only)Set the input connector used.Options: COAXIAL (default), OPTICAL8 MADI OUTPUT CH MODESet the output channel mode.Options: 64ch/32ch (default), 56ch/28chNOTELeft of /: 1×Fs channel modeRight of /: 2×Fs channel mode8 2×Fs MADI OUTPUT FRAMESet the MADI output signal frame type when the unit's samplingfrequency is 88.2/96kHz.Options: 48K Frame, 96K Frame (default)CAUTIONA MADI signal with a 88.2/96kHz sampling frequency and48K Frame type cannot be distinguished from a 44.1/48kHzsampling frequency MADI signal.For this reason, a 48K Frame MADI input signal that doesnot match the sampling frequency of the receiving devicecannot be received as proper audio data.When using a 48K Frame MADI signal, always match thesampling frequencies of the signal sending and receivingdevices.NOTEThe signal from the IF-MA64/EX MADI COAXIAL INconnector is output through its MADI COAXIAL THRUconnector whether the unit is on or off.When the unit is turned on/off, however, the signal outputfrom the MADI COAXIAL THRU connector will be momen-tarily disrupted.For this reason, time turning the unit on/off carefully whenthe signal output from the MADI COAXIAL THRU connectoris being used by a connected device.Timecode synchronized recordingThis unit captures the timecode from its built-in timecodegenerator at the start of recording and uses it as the file starttime.Recording durationThe table below shows maximum recording times by file formaton SSD/HDD drives of different capacities.File format used Media capacity80GB 120GB 240GB 480GB16-bit/44.1kHz/64-channel 3h 55m 5h 53m 11h 47m 23h 35m16-bit/48kHz/64-channel 3h 36m 5h 24m 10h 49m 21h 40m24-bit/44.1kHz/64-channel 2h 36m 3h 55m 7h 51m 15h 43m24-bit/48kHz/64-channel 2h 24m 3h 36m 7h 13m 14h 26m24-bit/88.2kHz/32-channel 2h 36m 3h 55m 7h 51m 15h 43m24-bit/96kHz/32-channel 2h 24m 3h 36m 7h 13m 14h 26m• The recording times shown above are estimates.
