6.2 About Time Codes
6.2.1 Types of Time Codes
In Stand Alone Mode, the Time Code field in the Note Creation pane can either display
the ‘Time of Day’ time code, or a custom time code. The custom time code can be either
a time code that you entered manually, or it can be a time code that originates from an
external time code source (VTR, camera, OB van, time code generator, etc.).
In Server Mode, the Time Code field can also display the server time code.
Depending on your settings, the Time Code field can also either display the PAL time
code (00:00:00:00) or the NTSC time code (00:00:00;00). For more information, see
section 2.2.2 ‘General Settings ’on page 4.
6.2.2 Synchronizing with an External Time Code
Source
You can synchronize the time code of your iPad with the time code of an external time
code source using a time code cable. The time code that is displayed in the Time Code
field will briefly change color until the syncing has been completed.

Warning
Make sure you have unplugged the Dock Connector to USB cable, otherwise the
synching won’t succeed.
6.2.3 Entering a Custom Time Code
You can enter a custom time code by double-tapping the hours, minutes, seconds or
frames in the Time Code field. The time code freezes and a box appears around the digit
pair you tapped on. Change the values by using the onscreen keyboard.
