ADDENDUM 2:

June 23 2004

Some software features have changed, or are in the process of changing, since this

manual was written. This Addendum discusses those changes. They are in no

particular order.

REFERENCE TONE (12.7) The Reference Tone is 1kHz at 48k Sampling Rate. The

tone frequency is purposely tied to the Sampling Rate to provide a quick reference to

confirm the rate. At 44.1K the tone is 918 Hz, at 96K it’s 2 kHz, and at 192K it’s 4 kHz.

EXTERNAL AES (12.2.1) The External AES setting takes it’s reference from an

external source such as a digital mixer. Both the external source AND the DEVA must

be set for the same sampling rate or else the time code will drift. Also, the External AES

setting takes it’s sync from AES inputs 1 and 2, so when in EXTERNAL AES mode you

MUST use those inputs. You cannot run external AES solely to any other pairs of

inputs. Also, the EXTERNAL AES will revert to internal sync if the external signal is lost.

In a later software revision the home screen will indicate the loss of external sync. It is

recommended that you leave this setting in AUTO. The Deva can only function as an

AES slave. It can lock to external AES inputs. It can not run on internal reference and

input aes at the same time. If external AES is used the Deva must be on external

reference.

CURRENT DRAIN The Deva draws approximately 750ma under full load. This load will

drop in a future software revision. As of now, all the A to D converters are ON all the

time. In the later revision, unused converters will turn themselves off decreasing power

draw.

CUE MENU (18.3) To playback anytake you must currently use the CUE MENU and

press ENT SEG #, then use the number pad to enter the actual number, then hit ENT

SEG # again and then hit the PLAY button. In a later software revision you will be able

to use the front panel and just punch in the segment # on the keypad, hit the CUE button

and PLAY.

BATTERY DISPLAY The On-Screen battery display currently shows the voltage of the

internal battery. In a later software revision it will show the voltage of whichever source

(internal or external) that is powering the DEVA.

NAME SELECTED FOLDER (14.2.3) Now allows you to enter up to 10 alpha-numeric

characters.

DEVA MEMORY MENU This is a new menu that appears in the software but is

currently inactive. It includes the buttons: SAVE DEVA STATE (which will allow you to

save all the Deva parameters), RESTORE DEVA STATE (will allow you to recall any of

the saved ‘states’), RESTORE DEFAULTS, and UPDATE SOFTWARE (this will allow

you to update software with out the auto-install program)

TIME CODE CHANGES (11.6) The TOGGLE USER BITS / TIMECODE button is now

called TOGGLE TC TYPE and now has a third option called JAM TIME OF DAY /

ENTER TIME OF DAY. DEVA has 2 clocks, a time code clock and a time of day clock.
