Setting up an internal timecode generator

Setting up an internal timecode generator
When you select “TC Generator” as your timecode source, there are several other settings that
you can make to the timecode generator. The controls for making these settings are available
only when the timecode input is “TC Generator,” otherwise, the generator controls are
dimmed.
Changes you make to the timecode generator apply only to the current channel unless you
have selected the same time code generator for another channel (see “Using the same TC
generator for multiple channels” on page 215).
To change the timecode generator settings:
1. With a timecode Track selected in the configuration tree, click the TC Generator
button. The timecode generator panel appears. The controls are dimmed except
when “TC Generator” is the timecode input.
NOTE: Leave the Timecode Generator selection to “Any” unless you are using the
same generator for two or more channels. Refer to “Using the same TC generator
for multiple channels” on page 215.
2. Choose a generator mode. You can start timecode using a fixed time or the time of
day. Click Time of Day to use the Applications Processor Windows NT clock, or
click Fixed Start Time to set a timecode value under Starting Value.
