3 Machine Connection 3.1 RS422 Protocols
There are several different RS422 protocols available, the most common is Sony P2. This was developed to control and synchronize video machines, Video machines that are designed to be used with RS422 video editors they make very good slaves. No video machine with the exception of some non-linear machines have built in synchronizers.

3.1.1 Audio Machines

Audio machines that have RS422 control will normally have built in synchroniser. These machines are often optimised using the built in synchroniser, the RS422 control can be very basic. When controlling a machine with a built in synchroniser the user has two choices. 1) Use the machine synchroniser: connect both the RS422 and timecode output of the SR to the timecode input of the machine. 2) Use the SR synchroniser: connect the RS422 only to the machine Provided that the machine supports the appropriate commands the operation will be identical. In installations where only the RS422 connection is possible then the SR synchroniser must be used. Where the machine synchroniser is used it is preferable to use the timecode output of the SR. This will enable the operator to change the master machine without changing the timecode feed to the slave machines and allow group locates when selected. The SR internal sync routines provide the user with a number of menu selections options and controls, these are described in section 10.43. A single global setting (10.12 Use Master Timecode) will determine the use of Machine or SR synchroniser when a machine is initially connected.

4.13 SONY VO-9800/VO-9850
VO-9800 TRACK ENABLE Audio-1 is permanently enabled, because of this the unit will initialise with Record disabled. To layback or record on Audio-1 use the serial setup to enable record commands to the machine. VO-9850 TRACK ENABLE The machine must be in EDIT (MODE SELECT SWITCH) for the EDIT commands to work. CHASE To slave this or any video machine ensure that the colour framing is turned OFF. The SR software will send a COLOUR frame off command to the machine on entry to play. On exit from play the SR4 will send a "Set colour Framing to Switch" command. TIMECODE A timecode card must be fitted and the display selector must be set to TC in order for the locates to operate correctly. LOW BAND TAPES When Audio-1, Audio-2 or VITC only are used for timecode we recommend that the machine is modified to allow timecode track selection from the front panel. This allows the user to select Audio-1, Audio-2, code-track, or an external VITC to LTC converter as the timecode source for the internal timecode reader. This value is then updated by the tach if the timecode is not readable and allows the machine to perform timecode locates.

4.81 ProTools Summary

4.82 ProTools 7.2
This version of ProTools has added destructive punch as well as other enhancements for post production. To interface with ProTools we recommend using the CB USB-422 USB to RS422 Interface. This provides two RS422vports on standard 9 pin 'D' connectors, one connected as an output and the other as either a input or output. ProTools lock Tally The lock tally in the status information is set when the audio is reproduced this is about 1 second later that the virtual machine locks. For the best performance you should select the appropriate setup setting dependant on operation as follows:Using ProTools as a master Setup | Root | IFace | Chase | Menu 59- Report Lock on 1= Play Tally Using ProTools as a slave Setup | Root | IFace | Chase | Menu 59- Report Lock on 0= Servo Lock Using ProTools as a controller When not recording on ProTools, or using the CB PD-1 Record and monitoring controller it is possible to use ProTools as a controller. See more details in our Multi-Master Documentation. Setup > Peripherals dialogue box. Select the Machine Control tab. 1. - In the 9-Pin Remote section, check the Enable box. 2. 3. 4. - Choose Port A of the USB-422 in the Port drop-down menu. - Choose Pro Tools in the Machine Type drop-down menu. - Click OK.
Setup > Preferences dialogue box. Select the Synchronization tab. 1. - Check the Allow Track Arm Commands in Local Mode checkbox.
Select the Operation tab. 1. - Check the PEC/Direct Style Input Monitoring checkbox. 2. 3. - Check that the DestructivePunch File Length is appropriate. - Click OK.
Destructive Punch 1. Enable Options > Destructive Punch, and check that the Record key on the transport bar shows 'dp'. 3. Option-click (Mac) or Alt-click (Windows) on one of the stem tracks' R buttons to enable destructive punch recording. Ensure that all R buttons on selected tracks are blue. 4. Format the stem tracks by clicking on Options > Prepare DPE Tracks If everything is locked to video reference, and you zero the projector and Pro Tools (SYNC I/O) *before* enabling 9-pin machine control, Pro Tools will randomly jump between 0 and 4 frames away from the zero bi-phase reference inducing an offset between picture and audio. If you zero the projector and Pro Tools *after* enabling 9-pin machine control everything works flawlessly. This doesn't happen if you lock PT to bi-phase clock (but then there are other problems). 2. Select all stem tracks.

Enabled The Still and Cued tallies will be set when all machines in the current group are stopped and cued. Every time the master machine is stopped the Pre-roll tally will be set whilst the slave machines are cueing. Once cued the Cued and Still tally will be set. The Play command will toggle Play when locked status on and off. Disabled The Cued and Still tallies will follow the master/selected machine. The play command will put the master directly into play.
6.3.2 Menu 92:- Input Lock Tally From System/Master 6.3.3 Menu 93:- Rmt FWD/RWD Cmds to Video Mcn 6.3.4 Menu 94:- P2 Remote Control
The Lock tally will follow the Master/selected machine lock status or be set only when all machines in the group are locked. This setting is used to send Shuttle Commands to the video machine instead of Fwd/Rwd commands so that the user may wind with picture. The remote control input is normally routed to the master machine, this menu allows the user to control the current selected machine.
6.3.5 Menu 95:- External Track Arming
The P2 track arming may be routed separately from the machine control. Current options are described in section 7.95 of the manual.
6.4 Multi Machine Synchronizer Set Up
The SR/MR series of synchronizers offer two forms of synchronisation using either the SR/MR synchronizer or where available the machines built in synchronizer. The user interface is identical. The decision "which type of synchronisation to use" depends on the users requirments and the technical details of the machine and the installation. When a new machine is connected the a system parameter (Unit | Chase | Menu 18 Default Chase Type) determines which type of synchroniser to use if there is a choice. Once connected the user is free to change the synchroniser type. The user selection will only be changed after a hard reset or if the type of machine connected to the port is changed.

2.5 TASCAM DA-88 VARI-PLAY/CHASE Not all versions of the DA-88 software support vari-play commands. If your software does not operate correctly then DA-88's internal chase synchroniser must be used. To use the internal chase synchroniser the master timecode or timecode output of the SR-4 must be taken to the timecode input of the DA-88. VARI-PLAY commands issued from play intermittently cause the transport to stop. TRACK ENABLE BUG Front panel track enable switches do not update the P2 Serial port! When Commands on the SR remote are disabled the record tallies on the remote will not reflect the current status of the machine. EDIT STATUS BUG The Edit status flag is not cleared on the RS422 port if you drop out of record on the machine or due to lost lock. The Record tally operates correctly and is cleared. UNLACED TALLY BUG The DA-88 does not report its unlaced status when it unlaces due to timeout. To Lace the DA88 depress the stop key on the SR-4 before issuing a chase command. LOCK TALLY BUG The DA-88 Lock tally is removed when in record or edit.

Synchronisation The latest version of the software includes the Chase and Set offset commands. Feed timecode to the input, select timecode as the chase source and use chase type 0. Do not use the SR3/4 synchroniser, chase type 5, on the last software this is unusable. The MMR-8 does not update its serial position at times during the start up. There are therfore position reporting errors that cause problems. Serial protocol The On-Line key must be illuminated for a servo lock tally.

2.9 SONY PCM-3324S

TIMECODE For accurate control it is rocomended that the timecode output from the machine is connected to the SR timecode input and that this is used to update the position when valid. ( Note: There is only one timecode reader per SR system, and one per box in an MR System). TIMER MODE Timer Mode must be switched to timecode VIDEO SYNC LOCK ENABLE For synchroniser to operate correctly Enable Timecode sync play on timecode board CHASE COMMAND BUG The RS422 Chase command does not work, returns undefined command OFFSET COMMAND BUG The RS422 Offset command inoperative, returns undefined command POSITION REPORT BUG Some 3324S's do not report there position correctly via the RS422 port, this causes problems when locking up. Typically the difference between the timecode and the time reported on the RS422 port varies from 0 to 10 frames or more! If you have this problem then get a copy of the Sony Technical Memo APM95-005 from your local Sony service office. After this modification has been carried out the DABK-3322 9-pin interface board must be installed in the middle slot of the right hand three slots. This is shown as slot 2 on page 2-1 of the DABK-3322 manual. LOCK STATUS BUG The 3324 Reports Lock even in Vari-Play, or when the Play LED is flashing. RECORD STATUS BUG The 3324S does not report track 1-8 record status in the normal status data TRACK ARM/E-E BUG The 3324 will not drop out of Auto-E-E in play only stop Tracks 1-8 will drop out of Edit when edit off is sent in stop after auto e-e command Track arm commands upset the position reporting from the 3324 Rehearse/Auto Input bug Once the auto input command is sent, there is no way of removing the auto input tally.

The SYNC key may now be used to Enable/Disable the communications. TRACK MAPPING To enable the record track selects 1) SUB MENU, SET UP The display should read RS422, if not use the inner jog wheel to select RS422. 2) Press STORE/ENTER, use the inner jog wheel until the display shows TRACK MAP 3) Press STORE/ENTER, use the inner jog to display DIG->ON if the display shows DIG->OFF use the outer jog wheel to position the cursor under OFF, then use the inner jog wheel to change to ON. 4) Press STORE/ENTER to confirm selection.

To enable external control of the track selects use the EXT M/C switch, external control is enabled when the LED is illuminated. ID Request always reports as a BVW-75 FILM machine, Now switchable to DD-1500 or BVW75. POSITION REQUEST: Use 0= LTC or 3= LTC+VITC, Do Not use 4= L+V+T! CHASE BUG The DD1500 will accept the RS422 CHASE command but unfortunately it does not exit when a STOP command is sent. This means that there is no way of exiting chase except by using the EXT.TIME switch on the DD1500. When the Chase (EXT.TIME) is enabled via the RS422 the DD1500 behaves differently in that when the external code stops or changes direction the DD1500 stops chasing. RECORD BUG If you use a RECORD ABORT (SHIFT RECORD) on the DL1500, the next time you enable a track via the 9 pin remote the system will enter RECORD!!!!. TRACK ARM BUG When in play the DD1500 will only accept the first track arm command. All subsequent track arming commands are ignored until you STOP the DD1500.
COMMS BUG The Akai will not answer coms for several frames when starting and droping in and out of record

2.27 AVID News Cutter 1) This is a DVW digital video workstation, designed to work as a stand alone system, it does not work with any other equipment. Although it can control an external machine for play in it cannot synchronise to an external RS422 or timecode. 2) There is no video emulation mode. 3) There is no timecode output. 4) There is no possibility of putting an external video machine into record. The only way of getting program out of the system is to put the AVID into play and putting a video machine into CRASH RECORD using the internal timecode generator as the timecode source.

TIMECODE If the V-MOD does not have a timecode reader it will not record timecode with video. The best way to set timecode on the V-MOD is to record a video with burnt in timecode or with a slate mark. The V-MOD may then be set to this timecode after the video is recorded. To record with serial timecode, select 422CON in the MASTER menu, connect to the playback machine via RS422. Then depress Record ([REC] and [>]) on the V-Mod, The V-Mod will start the playback machine and record audio, video and timecode. V-MOD SETUP To Enter Setup 1) Depress LOCK & REC simultaneously Enable the RS-422 on the V-MOD from Setup 2) Use the < and > to select the MASTER menu 3) Depress the Enter(LOCK) key to select the master menu 4) Use the + and - to select MASTER: Odectics (This sets the ID as V-Mod instead of BVW-40) 5) Depress the Enter(LOCK) key to return to MASTER menu To Select External Video Sync from Setup 2) Use the < and > to select the VIDEO menu 3) Depress the Enter(LOCK) key to select the video menu 2) Use the < and > to select the VIDEO SYNC menu 4) Use the + and - to select VIDEO SYNC:COMP 5) Depress the Enter(LOCK) key to return to MASTER menu To Preset the Timecode Number from Setup 2) Use the < and > to select the Timecode menu 3) Depress the Enter(LOCK) key to select the master menu 4) Use the < and > to select the Timecode digit to change 4) Use the + and - to select change the digit 5) Depress the Enter(LOCK) key to return to MASTER menu

2.43 Sony BVU-800 (Using timecode from an audio track)
The BVU-800 was the first timecode U-Matic, some early versions (I have found them in the USA and Russia) either have no timecode card fitted or have only a timecode amplifier fitted with no connection to the RS422 port. This technique may also be used when the timecode is not recorded on the timecode track. If this is the case then the timecode reader on the SR/MR may be used to read the timecode as follows:1) Select Menu 19 "Timecode input -> Port B" (Root|Unit|Timecode|.) and enable 2= Always 2) Connect the BVU 800 to port B only 3) Select the BVU800 (B key) 4) Select Menu 55 "Position Source" (Root|IFACE|Generic|.) 5) Enable 4= L+V+T (Request LTC, Video, and Tach)
