TIME CODE MENU 

 

Time Code Frame Rate Set 

 

 

 

 

The time code frame rate menu is where the time code frame rate is set.  

The ZMT3-HH will lock to and record all standard time code frame rates. 

 

23.98, 24, 25, 29.97DF, 29.97DF, 30 DF, 30 NDF 

 

TC Jam Mode Select 

 

 

 

 

This menu controls if the ZMT3-HH will go into record when it receives a record run time code. 

 

AUTO-JAM NORMAL 

- The ZMT3-HH will continuously jam time code via ZaxNet and will go into record 

when receiving a record command via ZaxNet or if the unit is put into record manually by pressing the 

CARD and INC keys simultaneously. 

 

AUTO-LOAD REC RUN 

- In Auto-Load mode the ZMT3-HH will go into record when it detects rolling time 

code, and will stop when the time code stops. If time code is lost because the IFB signal is too weak the 

unit will not stop but will continue in whatever state it was in until the time code signal is restored. 

 

Mute Time Code Transmission Until Jammed 

 

 

 

 

If the mute time code menu is set to ON the ZaxNet transmitter will not broadcast time code over ZaxNet 

until the transmitter receives time code and jams its own internal time code generator. This prevents the 

ZaxNet from sending incorrect time code to another device. 

 

Auto Frame Rate Enable

 

 

 

 

 

When turned ON the ZMT3-HH will automatically set its frame rate to the frame rate that is being 

transmitted from the ZaxNet transmitter that is feeding the ZMT3-HH. If auto frame rate is set to OFF the 

frame rate will need to be adjusted manually. Please note that auto frame rate will only work when the time 

code is being received over ZaxNet and will not work when time code is being received via the audio input.
