Locking up the future

The Fostex synchronisation products will lock Fostex E Series machines to one another, to provide up to 30-track recording.
SMPTE synchronisation with video recorders provides budget post production facilities. *

Overview

This unit simply locks two machines together. Slave follows the master.

On its own, the 4030 can be used to synchronise a pair of audio recorders or audio to video.

The only thing needed other than the interface cables for the chosen machines, is SMPTE time code on spare tracks of both recorders.

Operational Features

A pair of front panel switches allows you to enable chase and lock programmes.  Three indicators at the extreme left indicate master code, slave code and locked status.

Further front panel switches allow an offset to be established.

Video Recorder Control

Fostex recognise that the future of music recording is closely tied to links with vision.

Having brought multitrack within reach, the same is being done for post production.

Taking full command of a recording session means having all of the most important controls at your fingertips.

Each motion and function select feature is duplicated and it adds an indispensable locator facility.

Interface Cables

Interfaces for 4030 are available for all Fostex A,B and E Series recorders, for Otari, Soundcraft, Studer and certain VHS and Betamax video recorders:
