Model 8348
(TC/SYNC card for the Model DV824)
The Model 8348 is the TC/SYNC card dedicated
to the DV824 DVD multitrack recorder.
By installing the TC/SYNC card to the DV824, the
DV824 can stripe an external time code, chase an
external LTC, lock to a video clock, and synchro-
nize to a film machine, in addition to the capabil-
ity of locking to a word clock which is provided
with the DV824 as standard.
These functions are useful in various environ-
ments such as video post productions where au-
dio and video synchronization is essential, digital
recording studios where the DV824 and a digital
mixer are used together in the system.
<Note on installing the Model 8348>
The TC/SYNC card should be installed into the DV824 at a Fostex service station. Do not try to install
the card by yourself. Ask your local Fostex dealer for the installation after purchasing the Model
8348.

The 8348 can be installed only to a DV824 whose version is 1.10 or higher. If the version of your
DV824 is older than 1.10, your local Fostex dealer will upgrade your DV824 before installing the TC/
SYNC card.

plied with the DV824) and the supplementary manual for V1.10.
