The GX9000 can chase or follow an external timecode in forward or reverse. 

1.

 Press the 

Chase

 button. The timecode generator will automatically go into 

External Input mode. If the incoming timecode is stationary or otherwise 
invalid, the LED above the chase button will flash indicating ready to 
chase. When the GX9000 detects a valid timecode, lock is instantaneous.  
Playback will stop when the unit detects more stationary frames than 
selected in the Flywheel menu heading.

For Chase mode to operate correctly the GX9000 and the timecode source 
machine must be locked using either word clock, video clock or AES clock. 
This is to ensure that the unit’s timecode generator and the source machine 
generator are counting at exactly the same rate.

The GX9000 will “Flywheel” if the input timecode that it is chasing drops out. 
This means that playback will continue at the current rate until the timecode 
reappears.
