Selling my gently used BRAINSTORM DCD-8. BEST STUDIO MASTER CLOCK OUT THERE. Priced to Sell!! Offering not only exceptional stability but also remarkable flexibility, the DCD-8 is ideal for most situations, whether you have a small project studio or a large post-production facility with NTSC, PAL or HD systems. Clock generating, distributing, clean up, analyzing, format converting, it does it all. Inputs available are WC, GPS, AES, S/PDIF ADAT and video. Any of those external sources can be used as a reference. Or set the DCD-8 to "internal" and use it as a master clock generator. FireWire is also included. The DCD-8 will also feel right at home in a video studio. It accepts NTSC, PAL, and even HD tri-level sync. For Gearboxing, the DCD-8’s exceptional flexibility enables you to generate any rate from any source. The DCD-8 can also generate multiple rates simultaneously: 3 digital audio rates (up to 192K) and 4 video sync rates (2 SD and 2 HD). All locked to the same reference. The DCD-8 analyzer keeps everything is running smoothly and helps you identify problems when necessary (phase, termination,frequency). The DCD-8 even does format conversion between the different audio I/Os.
