Please see the on-line documentation.Importing a U-Matic TapeThese instructions assume the use of a Sony 1630-PCM Audio Processor and a Sony DMR-2000 Master Recorder(U-Matic).RequirementsThe U-Matic machine must be under Sony 9-pin (P2 Protocol) control from Pyramix.U-Matic Tape import requires a Mykerinos card with SDIF daughterboard and the appropriate key (PSO-1630). Clientswho already have an external SDIF converter can use this with a daughtercard suitable for its output. E.g. TheAES-EBU or DUAL daughtercards.Connections1. Wordclock is used to sync the PCM-1630 (Sourced from the Mykerinos card)2. DiscWrite controls the DMR-2000 transport using RS-422 (Sony 9-pin) via either the Pyramix workstation’sMTCHIO card if fitted or from the RS-232 COM port via an RS232 to RS422 converter.3. The DMR-2000 sends the composite digital stream to the PCM-1630. The PCM-1630 extracts the Audio signaland, if required, the Sync signal.4. The extracted digital audio signal is sent to DiscWrite via either an SDIF Mykerinos daughterboard input or toan outboard SDIF to AES/EBU converter and thence to an AES/EBU Mykerinos daughterboard input.5. The DMR-2000 reads the TimeCode signal from the tape and sends it via the analog AUX OUT CH2 XLR. Thisinformation is used by DiscWrite.6. The DMR-2000 reads the PQ Burst from the tape (this is also an analog signal) and sends it via the AUX OUTCH1 XLR to DiscWrite either using an input of the DUAL daughter card or an input of another analoguedaughtercard or directly using the motherboard ANALOG LINE IN.Note: NEVER use the MIC IN of the motherboard. (This may be equalised and is likely todistort the PQ Burst rendering it unreadable.)CD/SACD Mastering : Importing a U-Matic Tape 24 - 423
