More/Read Timecode 
 

This option reads linear timecode at 24, 25, 29.97 and 30 frames per second using 

the Ana in L  XLR.  The timecode is also output through the Ana XLR outputs so it may 

be used as an ‘in line’ check. If the drop frame flag is set in the timecode stream then 

‘DF’ will be displayed at the end of the time readout. The reader will resolve 

timecode down to  a level of -30dBu. The timecode may be monitored and metered, 

the meter will follow whichever type has been selected in ‘setup/ ana meter’. (PPM 

or VU).
