MMC Send and Timecode
When sending Locate Time in MMC Send mode, the VM200 refers to
the frame rate set by the Frame Mode parameter found on the
SETUP:SYSTEM 1: CLOCK/MON
function page.
Before you can correctly set a locate time on the VM200 to locate a
position on a connected external digital recorder via MMC Send com-
mands, you need to set the correct frame rate for the timecode.
The VM200 supports four frame rates: 24, 25, 30D (drop-frame), and
30fps.
It is important that you set the timecode frame rate to match the
material recorded on the digital recorder. Otherwise, the locate point
you set on the VM200 will be out of sync with the recorded material.
Frame Mode
Follow the steps below to set the frame rate for the MIDI timecode.
1.
Press the
[SYSTEM]
key.
The system displays the

1:CLOCK/MON
function page.
2.
Specify a value for the Frame Mode parameter by rotating the
EQ/LO-MID Freq control.
The Frame Mode parameter specifies the frame rate. Select a
frame rate appropriate for your project.
The options include 24, 25, 30DF (drop-frame), and 30ND
(non-drop frame).
The default setting is 24.
