Time Code
There are two distinct protocols of positional time code that are supported by RADAR
24: SMPTE/EBU
and MIDI time code or MTC. Both support all industry standard frame counts and rates. While chasing time
code it is normal practice to reference RADAR
24’s clock either directly to the incoming time code signal or
to an external word clock or video sync source. These clock sources are set separately in the
MAIN / SYNC MENU /
SYNC REFERENCE
menu.
