Glossary
IEC
The signals that are transferred via the digital
input/output of this device comply with the
IEC60958 and IEC958 (consumer) formats.
Limiter
An effect that works similarly to a compressor.
When the input signal rises beyond a specified level
(threshold), a limiter instantly lowers the gain to
limit the output level. The degree of compression is
specified by the Ratio. In general, ratios of 1:10 or
less are referred to as compression, in distinction to
limiting.
MMC
MMC is an acronym for
MIDI Machine Control
.
This is rule that defines how MIDI system exclusive
message can be used to control multiple recording
devices from a single device. The MV-8000 supports
MMC. In addition to song play back, stop and
fast-forward, you can also select the tracks for
recording, etc.
MTC
MTC stands for
MIDI Time Code
. This is a group of
messages which are transmitted and received
between MIDI devices to synchronize their
operation. Unlike MIDI Clock messages, MTC
specifies an absolute time. Like SMPTE time code,
MTC also supports a variety of frame rates. If you
wish to use MTC to synchronize the operation of
two devices, both devices must be set to the same
frame rate.
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.
