XIII. Timecode
1.
State
Timecode source (Internal or External) can be chosen in the Audio & Timecode Menu.
It is symbolized in the Record, Pre-Record, Test and Stop Menus by a round icon with the letter
'E' for External and 'I' for internal.
This icon can be:
•
Green: Timecode is initialized.
•
Blinking Orange: Jamming Timecode.
•
Red: Timecode is not initialized.
At startup, the Timecode icon is red. This is to remind you to verify the Timecode state.
2.
Internal Source Timecode Method
i. Internal Free-Run master clock
The internal TCXO 1ppm 'Sync Clock' keeps the time accurate to within ±0.5 frame in eight
hours; this time is used to stamp the sound files with the very same TC as the one stamped on
the camera's images (AatonCode method called 'Free-Run TC' in the video world).
Once initialized Cantar behaves as a master-clock.
The Internal 'Sync Clock' initialization choices are:
a.
Calendar init.
At startup, Cantar reads the system's calendar date and time to initialize the 'Sync Clock', 'Stc'
(System-TC) is displayed in the timecode area.
To remind you to sync other equipment around to the Cantar 'Sync Clock', the icon stays red until
you press the Shift + F3 buttons in order to confirm System Time as Timecode.
