46 TASCAM HS-8MASTERSelect the master clock to use.INT (default value): Use this unit’s internal clock.WORD: Synchronize with the word clock input throughthe WORD/VIDEO IN connector.VIDEO: Synchronize with the video clock input throughthe WORD/VIDEO IN connector.CH1-2DIN - CH7-8DIN: Synchronize with the clock of thedigital signal (AES1-8, AES A-B, or ADAT1-8) selected asthe digital input for CH1-2, 3-4, 5-6, or 7-8.You cannot select an input as the master clock if thesampling rate converter is ON for that input.The second line of the button shows the name of theselected digital input signal.NOTEA check mark appears on the button of the currently active•master clock.If synchronization from an external clock is interrupted, the•unit’s internal clock becomes active. In this case, a check markappears on the INT button to show that it has become theactive clock, and an “x” appears on the button of the selectedexternal clock that was lost.SYNC pageMake setting related to synchronization.STATUSShows the status of the currently loaded project’ssampling frequency and clock synchronization.Play FsWhen playing a take with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz,48 kHz pull-up, or 48 kHz pull-down, the unit can be madeto synchronize with an external clock by setting it to playback with pull-up or pull-down.Depending on the combination of Project samplingfrequency and Play sampling frequency settings, the unitwill operate with the Fs shown below.Play sampling frequency settingProjectsamplingfrequencyOFF (Defaultsetting)Pull-down Pull-up48 kHz 48 kHz 48 kHz – 0.1% 48 kHz + 0.1%48 kHz pull-up 48 kHz + 0.1% 48 kHz Not possible48 kHz pull-down48 kHz – 0.1% Not possible 48 kHzAll others ProjectsamplingfrequencyNot possible Not possibleNOTESet this to OFF before recording. Recording is not possible when setto Pull-up +0.1% or Pull-down –0.1%. If you try to record when notOFF, “Cannot REC” appears in a warning pop-up window.TC ChaseUse to turn playback synchronized with external timecodeON/OFF (default value: OFF). Set it to ON, when you wantto match the timing of this unit’s audio with a timecodemaster unit (audio recorder or video).You can also set timecode offset (TC Offset) with thetimecode master device. Touch the “EDIT” button to openthe “TC Offset” screen where you can set the offset valuein a range between “−23: 59: 59.29” and “+23: 59: 59.29”(default value: “00: 00: 00.00”).NOTETC Chase can also be turned ON/OFF by pressing the SHIFT andCALL keys at the same time.TC RechaseTurn this function, which re-synchronizes whensynchronization with external timecode becomesinaccurate, ON/OFF (default value: “OFF”). To set theamount of inaccuracy that triggers rechase, touch theknob and turn the DATA dial to select a value in frames of1/3, 1, 2, 5 or 10 (default value: 2 frames).T/C pageMake settings related to time code.Free run mode6 – Internal Settings and Operations
