QUICK START GUIDE |

Sending prerecorded timecode to slates and remotely

start/stop recorders via external timecode:

In this mode, an external timecode source must be per-

manently connected to one NanoLockit (via TC input or

MIDI USB).

This NanoLockit will send the externally generated

timecode to the other Lockits.

NOTE:

If source timecode stops, the receivers will also stop their TC output.

If the source TC stands still, the receivers will output standing timecode.

SPECIAL: TRX MODE
