Dakota can chase to SMPTE coming in on any digital audio channel, locking its digital sample rate to the timecode on the tape. With an 8-channel converter, such as Tango24 or an ADAT MDM in monitor mode, you can record that tape to hard disk in one record pass. If the original material lasted 01:15:02:16, the result on hard disk will be the same … not one frame longer or shorter. And it will be recorded without the audio distortion (some would say “mangling”) that software-only solutions inject.
