TIME BASE
4 – 32 Typical Setup Examples
❐
Not all 9-pin Controllers do react correctly when a machine is used in
“LOCAL” mode. You must test this to find out if it does.
The 9-pin interface must be switched to M.A:P2x (“DEVICE”) mode when-
ever Time Base is used as a Virtual 9-pin Machine. P2x: Tx and Rx connec-
tions are crossed (inverted) within Time Base. Therefore, no special cable
is required.
Output to a non-controllable machine
Using Time Base, you can also send Time Code locked output (LTC plus
VITC!) from a non-linear video editing system to a (VHS) VTR which can
not be controlled via 9-pin.
Most linear video editing systems require 9-pin controllable VTRs (beta-
cam) for output including Time Code.
