MD: MD to DAT and Back?

2000-09-11 Thread James S. Lee


Is the optical output of a MD deck readable by the optical input of a DAT deck?
If so, do SCMS protocols apply across platforms (MD to DAT)?

 input of a DAT deck?

Yes.  (see note 1)

 If so, do SCMS protocols apply across platforms (MD to DAT)?

Yes.  (see note 2)

Note 1.  The DAT *may* record at 48/44/32khz whereas the MD will be at 44khz
output (although most will accept/record the other rates and convert it).  
I'm sure others can inform you of the +ve's  -ve's of this issue.

Note 2.  If it (the DAT) is not professional grade gear then SCMS applies,
same for the MD.  You will need at least one of them to ignore, or change
SCSM settings if you wish to go beyond 1 digital generation.
