Synchronisation Status
When you add or change devices in a BLINK network, you should check that they are
synchronising correctly and using the correct frame-per-second settings. An easy
way to do this is to look at the Synchronisation Status screen.
1. Display the Main Screen (see page 39)
2. Use the Up and Down buttons to scroll to the screen that shows TCR or TCG
at the top.
Status Description
TCR or
TCG
TCR (timecode receiving) is shown if your SyncBac PRO is a
slave. The timecode shown is the clock setting that your
SyncBac PRO is using and is received from the master device.
TCG (timecode generated) is shown if your SyncBac PRO is a
master. The timecode shown is the clock setting of your SyncBac
PRO's internal clock. This setting is used by your SyncBac PRO
and is also sent to the slave SyncBac PROs in the BLINK network.
For more details, see Master and Slave Relationship on page 22 .
FPS The frames-per-second setting that is currently used by your
SyncBac PRO. The first part of the value shows the actual FPS
and the =GoPro part shows the equivalent setting in the GoPro
HERO4™ camera. The SyncBac PRO and HERO4™ need to have
compatible FPS settings, so if your SyncBac PRO is set to 23.98
=GoPro:24, your GoPro camera should be set to 24 FPS.
For more details, see Set the Frame Rate Per Second for the
Master on page 33 .
