The DAT•Inspector handles all DAT tapes which contain valid time code information. Besides monitoring the audio stream itself, the DAT•Inspector also monitors the time code track.

Time code jumps and invalid areas within the time code will be recognized and reported. The evaluation of internal error correction mechanisms inside the Sony PCM 7030/7040/7050 drives is of course mandatory, as is the support of 44.1k and 48k sampling rates. The internal error correction provides detailed information on CRC, mute and interpolation errors. Time code based transfers (A to B transfers) are also supported as well as the automatic stop of the recording when the end of the time code is reached.
