Topic: V3 to multiple dat decks

[nickgregory]

where's Jason B at? He doesn't have something around the house or at work?

he was my next call tonight...

the pause on the D100/M1 shuts down after 5 minutes (I think it is) of not being engaged. 

if you can't change a tape in 5 minutes you have problems

edit: speaking of the V3 mine is en route to my house as i type

I agree with this, but realize, the decks have to be setup serially, once I start the 2nd deck, that will be the deck catching the remainder of the show.  As a result, when the first one runs out of tape, it will shut down

[Brian]

i thnk he saying pause the first deck, change it's tape, then when the second tape runs out you chan change it while the first one is running.

or am i missing something?

that would create three tapes...My hope would be to only have 2 tapes after it is over...

Sooooo...how does one change the tape in the first deck (through which the signal flows to the second deck) while it's in Record/Pause mode?

nick;

why can't you run 2 decks from 2 of the 4 digi outs from the v3? 

bnc>s/pdif > one deck
s/pdif > other deck.

bnc? that's the word clock out isn't it?

[Brian Skalinder]

Unless you've had it modded to an opti out. 

[Tim]

I'm working on that

[leegeddy]

my bad... one out from AES>coax > deck the other from s/pdif>coax>deck.

[Tim]

that's the problem, he doesn't have an aes cable...

[dnsacks]

what's wrong with having 3 tapes -- all of the solutions mentinoned below (aes>spdif cable, adaptors, splitters, etc.) are going to run more, $$$-wise, than a third blank dat.

[Tim]

hey Nick, be glad you didn't try to tape Phish 12-31-99

second set went from about 11pm to 7am straight through with no stops
