4-16 Operations TCR Series UserManual
When chasing until TC LOSS OR ERROR, the TCR will stop playing when time code values are
corrupted or lost. The chase mode will then be automatically turned off.
If chasing until CHASE CANCELLED, the TCR will stop playing when time code values are bad or
lost, but will resume playing when the external time code becomes valid again. Recordings, however,
are terminated at the first loss of time code.
Time Code Output
Output Options
MENU | Machine Setup | Sync and Time Code | Output LTC
The current file position (plus any offset) is outputted on the LTC OUT connector, either
WHENEVER ROLLING or DURING 1X PLAY ONLY. If the former is selected, non-continuous
time code values are generated even when jogging, shuttling, rewinding or fast forwarding.
Level Adjustment
MENU | Machine Setup | Sync and Time Code | LTC Level
The LTC output is provided as a balanced signal pair, with programmable amplitudes from -18 dBv
to +15 dBv in 3 dB steps.
Time Code Offsets
Entering an Offset
To enter a time code offset, press DISP from the Transport Screen. Using the numeric keypad,
press ’0’ to display the Offset Register (OFST).
Then enter the desired offset using the numeric keypad. After typing the first digit (or by pressing
ENTER) the value entry prompt appears. Continue entering the desired location, then press ENTER
to confirm the time point.
Capturing an Offset
To capture a time code offset, press DISP from the Transport Screen and select option ’0’ to display
the Offset Register (OFST). The value now shown in the Time Code Display is the difference
between the last received external time code value and the current file position. When audio has
been located (using the jog wheel, for example) that corresponds to the external time code position,
press CAPTURE to load the OFST register with the displayed difference.
Next press DISP, ’2’ to select OFFSET POSN for the time code display mode. Note that when the
OFFSET button is turned on, the desired offset takes effect.
Enabling the Offset
When the OFFSET button is turned on, the OFST value is subtracted from the absolute file position
to yield the current user position. When the OFFSET button is off, the current user position is
identical to the absolute file position.
