Select timecode framerate, toggle and press. When changing an existing setting you will be asked to
confirm or discard the new selection. If video sync output is already enabled on ACL204 available
values may be limited or even locked depending on menu depth.
CAUTION! Switching between PAL and NTSC or Non-Drop and Drop rates will restart the
generator with the new time base and interrupt the video or audio sync signal, doing this while
recording will result in a corrupted file.
Jam

Determines how the generator can be jammed over ACN, cable, or IR (only via ACC501 controller).
“Full”
:
Automatic setting, unit will jam if generator is not set or external TC is different from generator.
Also the unit will apply the external TC framerate via LTC or ACN to its generator with the exception
that video sync output has been enabled on ACL204
In that case the Jam mode will fall back to Auto (see next parameter). Still, jam mode will be kept active,
so if you disable video sync “Full” will be hot again. This will effectively prevent misadjustments during
operation while bringing maximum of ease on initial configuration.
“Auto”
:
Unit will jam if generator is not set or external TC is different from generator.
“Once”
:
Unit can be jammed once and then lock inputs (cursor moves to
“Off”
). Unlock again by
selecting desired jam mode.
“Off”
:
defeats jamming of the internal generator from external. Still, you can manually edit timecode as
per below.
Edit:
Enter TC value manually
hh:mm:ss:ff
. Toggle to edit blinking value, press to confirm and proceed.
TC generator will start on from selected value after confirmation, so you can exactly trigger a certain TC
start. Editing TC does not change your jam mode in general. However, if edited manually and confirmed
generator will be set and hence
“Full”
will temporarily fall back to
“Auto”.
Note: The active jam mode will be visualized upper left to the running TC on the main screen by
indicating “F” , “A”, “O” or a lock symbol for “Off”.
Output
Level (2)
Mute
Offset (E)
This menu configures the TC output signal available on both Lemo sockets. If Level is not applicable
and Offset hidden while in “Standard” view, entering Output will directly access the Mute submenu as
only option.
