Glossary

NTSC Format

Color television format used in Japan, the United States, and

other countries. Tapes recorded in the NTSC format cannot

be played back on video decks utilizing the SECAM/PAL

formats.

Phantom Power

This is a method of providing electric power to condenser

mics via the mic cables. Generally, a mixer’s internal

phantom power source supplies 6–48 volts (DC). Supplying

phantom power to dynamic mics, audio playback devices, or

other such equipment may result in damage to the

equipment. Turn the phantom power switch on only when

connecting condenser mics which need phantom power;

otherwise, leave it switched off.

R-BUS

Roland’s digital communication specification developed to

allow audio and control data to be exchanged between

devices. Multi-channel audio signals, word clock, and MIDI-

compatible operation data and synchronization signals can

be exchanged. A single R-BUS connector allows

simultaneous bi-directional transfer of eight channels of

digital audio data. The connector is a DB-25 type, and uses a

special cable for connections.

It should NOT be connected to

other types of ports that use similar connectors!

Removable Disk Drives

Disk drives that have been able to remove the disk, such as a

Zip drive, are referred to as the “removable disk drives.”

RSS

RSS stands for Roland Sound Space. This is an effect which

allows a sound source to be placed in three-dimensional

space when played back on a conventional stereo system.

The sound can be placed not only in front of the listener, but

also directly to the side, above, below, and behind the

listener.

S/P DIF

S/P DIF stands for Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format.

This is a specifications for transmitting and receiving stereo

digital audio signals between digital audio devices.

The VS-1824 provides coaxial connectors which support S/P

DIF.

SCMS

SCMS stands for Serial Copy Management System. This is

a function that protects the rights of copyright holders by

prohibiting recording via a digital connection for more than

two generations. When digital connections are made

between digital recorders that implement this function,

SCMS data will be recorded along with the audio data.

Digital audio data which contains this SCMS data cannot

again be recorded via a digital connection.

SCSI

SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface. This is a

data transmission method that can transmit large amounts of

data in a short time. Since the VS-1824 has a SCSI connector,

external SCSI devices such as hard disks or removable disk

drive etc. can be connected.

SECAM Formats/PAL Formats

Color television formats used in Europe and other areas.

Tapes recorded in the SECAM or PAL formats cannot be

played back on video decks designed for the NTSC format.

Shutdown

In order to turn the power off safely, you must first make

sure that the performance has been saved to hard disk, and

that the hard disk heads are parked. This procedure is

referred to as Shutdown.

SMPTE time code

This is a signal format defined by the American organization

SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers)

which is used to synchronize the operation of video or audio

devices. SMPTE specifies “hours:minutes:seconds:frames” to

indicate the address of each frame of a video image. For this

reason, there are a variety of frame rates.

Terminator Power

This refers to the power supplied to external type active

terminators.

TOC

Short for Table of Contents. This is the region on the CD-R

disc that handles information such as song times, end times,

sequence, and so on. Although the songs on a disc and their

playing time can be displayed when an audio CD is placed in

a CD player, this is because they can be read automatically

from the TOC. The TOC is recorded differently than music

data, with its main characteristic being disc access, such as

the ability to go to the start of any song instantly.

Track Minutes

The amount of available recording time that is called for a

standard unit corresponding to the time of one continuous

monaural signal recorded to one track.

Zip Drive

A magnetic disk drive format standardized by Iomega

Corporation. Disks that can be used for reading and writing

data with Zip drives are call Zip disks. Similar to 3.5-inch

floppy disks in size and usage, one Zip disk can store 100 MB

of data.
