you need ?

We call it /77//7//T7DG

source. Power consumption is only

2 Watts, (100 Watts with the optional

motor drive ampliﬁer required for

machines with synchronous capstan

motors).

MINIMAG is the lowest priced and

the smallest professional-quality

synchronizer in the industry. Works

with every type of multi-track

machine — video or multi-channel

audio, sprocketed or unsprocketed.

MINIMAG is a complete unit,

including its own code generator.

Simple to operate. Can be installed in

less than 15 minutes.

MINIMAG was developed by

Automated Processes, creators of the

MagLink® Synchronizer, and one of

±50 seconds and will maintain sync, the most respected names in

or variable offset for any length of

time regardless of tape stretch or

shrinkage.

MINIMAG has a capture range of

recording and broadcasting

equipment. Our consoles and audio

components have long been

recognized for their quality and

performance. This tradition of serving

the professional has been continued

in this new synchronizer.

MINIMAG synchronizes any two

mag tapes. Connects two 16-track

machines to function as a single

30-track machine. Provides variable

or ﬁxed delay effects. Keeps an audio

recorder in perfect sync with a VTR

for audio "sweetening", including

offsets ... synchronizes TV and

stereo FM simulcasts ... permits

remote overdub recording without

releasing the master tape.

MINIMAG measures only 1%" high

x 19" wide x 12" deep for

convenient rack mounting. Plugs into

any 115/230 volt, 50/60 Hz power

Providing all essential functions for the synchronization of magnetic tapes, MiniMag will interlock any two conventional

multi-track tape machines (video, audio, sprocketed or unsprocketed) by means of a time code applied to one track of

each tape.

In operation, the time code generated by the MiniMag unit is recorded on both the "master" and the "slave" tape,

cither before, or simultaneously with the recording of program material. Thereafter, MiniMag compares the code played

back from the slave tape with the code on the master tape and generates a capstan control signal which locks the tapes

in perfect synchronism. Tape machines designed for DC servo operation are controlled directly, while synchronous

motor machines require the accessory capstan drive ampliﬁer, Model 250A. The tapes need not be perfectly aligned

before starting because of the ±50 second capture range provided. A front panel control makes it possible to offset or

shift one tape with respect to the other to achieve lip sync or delay effects.

Optional plug-in relays are available to slave the Stop and Play functions as well as capstan control. With these relays

installed, the slave machine will start and stop automatically as commanded by the master machine.

Switches provide for operation at either 115 or 230 volts and at either 50 or 60 Hz. Interconnection is accomplished by

means of XLR type connectors and installation may be accomplished in less than 15 minutes.
