# Setup Name Setup Description Setup Options
46 Time Code: Frame Rate Sets the time code frame rate. All common time
code frame rates are available.
• 23.976 – used with high definition video cameras
• 24 – to sync audio to film where no transfer to
NTSC video is expected
• 25 – to sync sound to PAL video
• 29.97 – to sync sound to NTSC video shot in non-
drop frame mode
• 29.97DF - to sync sound to NTSC video shot in
drop frame mode
• 30 – to sync sound to film where transfer to NTSC
video is expected
• 30DF – to sync sound to film for transfer to NTSC
video in drop-frame mode
• 30+ – Records at 48.048 sampling rate at 30
frames per second but stamps the file at 48kHz, 30
frames per second
47 Time Code: Mode Sets the mode for the time code generator • Off – time code not active, recorded or output
• Free Run – time code is initialized from the jam
menu and then runs continuously regardless of
record mode
• Free Run Jam Once – time code is initialized from
an external source and updates itself to the external
source when reconnected
• Record Run – time code is initially set from the jam
value item in the jam menu. Time code generation
runs only during recording generating continuous
time code from file to file.
• 24 Hr Run – time code is initialized from the system
clock on startup and enters free run mode. Time
code is updated if the time of day clock is adjusted.
• Ext TC – applies external time code to the recorder
directly. The internal time code generator has no
effect.
• Ext TC/cont – applies external time code to the
recorder; internal generator continues to run if time
code signal is lost. Useful for time code transmission
over RF
• Ext TC-Auto Record – applies external time code
to the recorder. Unit enters Record when time code
runs and stops when time code stops.
• Ext TC/cont-Auto Record – applies external time
code to the recorder; internal generator continues
to run if time code signal is lost. Unit enters Record
when time code runs and stops when time code
stops.
48 Time Code: Hold Off Sets the duration that a valid time code signal has
to be recognized by the 744T before generating a
new take while in Ext TC-Auto Record and Ext TC/
cont-Auto Record modes.
0.0 to 8.0 seconds adjustable in increments of .1
seconds
49 Time Code: User Bits Sets the time code user bits generated by the 744T.
mm – month
dd – day of week
yy – year
tt – take number
uu – user-defined
• Not Used – user bits are not set or output
• mm:dd:yy.tt
• dd:mm:yy.tt
• uu:uu:tt:tt – user bits are set to 4 user definable
digits with 4 take digits
• uu:uu:uu:uu
• tt:tt:tt.tt – user bits are set to the take counter for
all 8 digits
• mm:dd:yy:uu
• dd:mm:yy:uu
