You can sync M20s with any previous ADAT format machine, which means that you can have some 16 bit machines and some 20 bit machines recording in the same session. If you play a Type I tape in an M20, it will automatically detect the tape format and perform all operations in 16 bit mode. When you format a new tape, you have the option of selecting 20 bit or 16 bit formatting. A 16 bit formatted tape will play on any existing ADAT format machine.

The optical output of the M20 sends out all eight channels in full 20 bit mode. If the destination of the optical cable is a 16 bit ADAT, then the channels coming from the M20 can be dithered to 16 bits resulting in a better recording than if it was originally recorded on the 16 bit ADAT.

SMPTE/EBU

The M20 was designed for professional time code applications. RS-422, time code, word clock, and video reference jacks are located on the back panel so you don’t have to use any card options or external adapters to chase or generate time code. Time code is printed to a sub code area of the tape so you can have discontinuous SMPTE recorded without using up an audio track. The M20 operates at any frame rate at either 44.1k or 48k sample rates.

The MIDI in jack on the rear panel enables you to control the M20 with MMC (MIDI Machine Control) commands from a sequencer without an external box. No BRC and no AI-2 needed here. Any slave ADATs or ADAT-XTs will follow right along.
