Hi, I'm looking into getting an 8-track and am considering a TASCAM 38. My question is - can make it work with SMPTE - syncing to video, etc? Do you need something like an SBX-80 to do it? I talked to a TASCAM rep once and he said you couldn't make the 38 do SMPTE. From reading the notes on the subject - it looks to me like you can. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks - Bill

A 38 out of the box will not chase a SMPTE sync signal. You can
use it as the master, i.e., record a sync track on it that other
devices will chase, but the 38 itself will not chase anything.
So, for example, you couldn't take two stock 38s and make a 14 track
machine out of them.
An SBX-80 will not help - the SBX-80 will provide the sync signal
you could record on the 38, but the 38's drive logic is not set
up to chase such a signal. You could put FSK on the 38, use that
track to drive the SBX-80, get SMPTE out of the SBX-80 and send
that to some other device, but the 38 must be the master.

So does the Otari. Mark III has it standard, implemented thorough
it's own track, not one of the 8 audio tracks.
Does the Tascam autolocator respond to SMPTE?
