14 – Timecode synchronization
In this chapter, we explain playback synchronization with
timecode.
This unit’s playback and recording can be synchronized with
SMPTE timecode input through the TIMECODE IN connector
on the rear panel. For recording and playback, this unit can
be synchronized with SMPTE timecode input through the
TIMECODE IN connector on its rear panel or with its built-in
timecode generator (“master timecode” hereafter).
Timecode synchronization differs according to the operation
mode.
Playback synchronized with timecode
Timeline mode
In timeline mode, playback can be synchronized with master
timecode.
When playing back with timecode synchronization, when
playback starts, it synchronizes with master timecode.
Take mode
Playback synchronized with timecode is not supported.
Playlist mode
Playback synchronized with timecode is not supported.
On-air mode
Playback synchronized with timecode is not supported.
Recording synchronized with
timecode
Timeline mode
In timeline mode, recording can be synchronized with master
timecode.
When recording with timecode synchronization, master
timecode is captured the instant that recording starts, and
recording starts from that time (timecode time) on the timeline.
Take mode
In take mode, recording cannot be synchronized with master
timecode.
The timecode from the built-in timecode generator is captured
at the beginning of recording as the file starting time.
Playlist mode
In playlist mode, recording is not possible regardless of
timecode synchronization status.
On-air mode
In on-air mode, recording is not possible regardless of timecode
synchronization.
