Status (read-only)

#

Displays the current status and contents of 
the four supported external timecode 
formats.
• If a format is receiving timecode data, 

the current content (timecode running 
count and line number) is displayed.

• If a format is not receiving timecode 

data, ‘

Not Present

’ is displayed.

#

Source Priority #

#

Selects the priority assigned to each of the 
four supported external formats, and 
internal Free Run in the event the 
preferred source is unavailable.
Selects the preferred format to be used in 
descending order (i.e. Source Priority 2 
selects the second-most preferred format, 
and so on.)

Disable Outputs

Use with care. When selected with 
alternate intended format(s) set as a lower 
priority, the card will indeed disable all 
timecode output should the ordinate 
preferred format(s) become unavailable. 
Typically choices other than Disable 
should be used if a timecode output is 
always desired, with Disable only used to 
remove all timecode data.

Offset

Delayed

Allows the current timecode count to be 
delayed on the output video

Advanced

Allows the current timecode count to be 
advanced on the output video

Offset Field

0*-1

Delays/advances or delays timecode by 
one field

Offset Frame

0*-1

Delays/advances or delays timecode by up 
to five frames
