Sync Ref
MENU | Machine Setup | Sync and Time Code | Sync Ref
The Sync Ref function allows you to select the internal or external reference source that is used to
lock (synchronize) the TCR.
Use the following steps to set the sync reference:
1. On the Setup Sync and Time Code Menu, select item 0 (SYNC REF). The current setting
is highlighted.
2. Select the desired sync reference. Six choices are available:
• INTERNAL: the TCR’s internal crystal is used.
•
WORD CLOCK: the Word Clock Input connector is used. A valid Word Clock
signal must be present.
•
AES 1-2: the Digital Input 1-2 connector is used as the reference. A valid AES
signal must be present.
• AES 3-4: the Digital Input 3-4 connector is used as the reference. A valid AES
signal must be present.
•
VIDEO: the Video Ref Input connector is used as the reference. A valid analog
video reference signal (such as Black Burst) must be present.
• LTC: the LTC Input connector is used as the reference. A valid LTC signal must
be present.
Please note the following important points:
•
If the selected sync reference is good, the EXT SYNC LED lights steadily beside the Time
Code Display.
•
If the selected sync reference is bad, the EXT SYNC LED blinks, and one of the following
messages appears in the Editor Display’s title bar:
~ For Word Clock, Video, and LTC: INCORRECT SYNC OR FRAME RATE
~ For AES 1-2 and AES 3-4: SYNC INPUT BAD OR MISSING
