Timecode
When timecode is enabled, it is displayed on the home screen
beneath the current filename. Standard timecode is displayed as
HH:MM:SS:FF. Drop-frame timecode is displayed with a semi-colon
between the seconds and frames fields: HH:MM:SS;FF.
Each time you press record, the current timecode value is stored in-
side the Broadcast WAV file. Most popular video editing applications
can read this timecode value to help sync the audio with picture.
When power is removed, the internal battery maintains accurate
timecode for up to 4 hours. An alert will be issued whenever the
timecode generator (in Free Run and Time of Day timecode modes)
has reset due to internal battery depletion. This internal battery is
automatically charged anytime the MixPre is powered on.
TC MODE
Select between Free Run, Time of Day, Rec Run, BNC In
(MixPre-10T only), Aux In 1, Aux In 2, HDMI TC In, HDMI FUJIFILM or
Off.
FRAME RATE
Select between 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97nd, 29.97dF,
30, and 30 dF. Setting the frame rate is not necessary when using
BNC, Aux, or HDMI In.
JAM
With the MixPre to Free Run and the frame rate set to the
source’s frame rate, tap Source and select BNC In or Aux TC.
Tap Jam TC to jam timecode. Jamming is successful if Diff =
00:00:00:00.
SET TC
Manually set timecode.
BNC IN
MixPre-10T only. Set BNC to Timecode or Word Clock.
BNC OUT
MixPre-10T only. Set BNC to Timecode or Word Clock.
SYNC REF
MixPre-10T only. Select from BNC In or Internal. When
BNC In is selected, the MixPre-10T can be set to sync to an external
timecode or word clock sync reference connected to BNC In.
SET UBITS
Click “Mode” at top to edit UBits Mode. From the main
screen, press in with the headphone encoder to modify the value of
a UBit. Use the arrows or scroll with the encoder to select.
It is best practice to rejam timecode devices after switching modes
(Basic, Advanced or Custom) or after any setting change requiring a
reboot (MixAssist, Music mode or Ambisonics).
