[TIMECODE SOURCE] Time Code can be either internally generated or taken from an external generator
connected on the 5pin Lemo as described below
• External Jam Sync the TC is jammed on an external source, then runs on its own clock
• External No Jam
the TC reads the external source continuously
• Internal
the TC is internally generated but its output on the Lemo 5 pin is disabled
• Internal Output
the TC is internally generated and is available on the Lemo 5 pin connector
NOTE1:
when selecting [INTERNAL OUTPUT], a frame rate other than [AUTO] (states for auto
detect) must be selected in the menu [TIME CODE FORMAT]. If [AUTO] is selected, a
warning is posted on the screen and a bip tone is heard.
NOTE2: in PLAYER mode, the TimeCode of the played file is outputted
[TIMECODE FORMAT] Select the TC frame rate; when [EXT JAM SYNC] or [EXT NO JAM] is selected, the
recorder detects automatically the incoming frame rate; however specifying a format
allows to check the validity and the accuracy of the incoming Time Code; an
incoming TimeCode having a format different from that specified or not within the
standard tolerances will trigger an alarm.
• Frame Rates are: AUTO - 23.976 - 24 - 25 - 29.97 Non Drop - 29.97 Drop - 30 Non Drop - 30 Drop
