| Dolby DMU Stuff
Hmmm... lets see. The one I use is all AES Digital IO. Just place it in record chain plug in timecode and 48Khz black sync and Bobs' your uncle. the unit takes 6 channel discreet and records an AC3 digital stream for the 35mm digital audio and an LtRt for the optical track, to an Optical Disk drive. The DMU can operate at most frame rates, 24, 23.976, 29.97, and 30, it really doesn't care. Everything is counted in feet and frames on the DMU. You normally record to the DMU one reel at a time with tones in front of each reel. I also record voice with Project name, reel number, other data as necessary, this get tracked to the MO just before the tones and 2-pop. So don't froget to setup tones and 2-pops ( as well as tail pops ) for each reel.
Everything is real time except for the copy operation. Normally after the printmaster session, a copy of the Optical disk is made on location and you are done!...
more to follow!
