Triggering Recording from External Timecode
The PIX 270i can be configured to start recordings when incoming timecode begins rolling and stop
when it becomes stationary. This is generally referred to as Record Run timecode. The master time-
code device should be setup in this manner. To configure the PIX 270i to follow Record Run com-
mands:
1. Set Setup Menu option [Remote Control - Rec Start/Stop] to Timecode.
2. Make sure that the device that is sending timecode is configured to send stationary
timecode while stopped and running timecode while recording. To cause the PIX 270i
to stop recording when linear timecode signal is absent (disconnected), set Setup Menu option
[Timecode/Sync - Timecode Mode] to Ext TC (LTC Halt).
3. Some cameras do not send the correct timecode in the first few seconds of a recording, or
they send short bursts of timecode causing the PIX 270i to record short unintentional files or
incorrect timecode values. The [Timecode/Sync - Auto Record Hold Off] feature is designed
to eliminate these issues. When a hold off value is applied, the PIX 270i will begin capturing
the moment timecode begins rolling but will only go into record if a valid timecode signal is
present after the hold off time has elapsed.
