TC Jam (jam timecode)
TC Jam
JAM NOW
When TC Jam is selected,
JAM NOW
will blink on
the LCD and the unit is ready to be synced with the
timecode source. Connect the timecode source
and the sync will take place automatically. When
the sync is successful, a message will be displayed
to confirm the operation.
Timecode defaults to zero at power up if no
timecode source is used to jam the unit. A timing
reference is logged into the BWF metadata.
Frame Rate
The frame rate affects embedding of the timing reference in the BWF file
metadata and display of timecode. The following options are available:
• 30
• 23.976
• 29.97
• 30DF
• 25
• 29.97DF
• 24
NOTE: While it is possible to change the frame rate, the most common
use will be to check the frame rate which was received during the
most recent timecode jam. In rare situations, it might be useful to alter
the frame rate here, but be aware that audio tracks many not line up
correctly with mismatched frame rates.
Use Clock
Choose to use the clock provided in the SPDR as opposed to a timecode
source. Set the clock in the Settings Menu, Date & Time on page 12.
NOTE: The SPDR time clock and calendar (RTCC) cannot be relied
on as an accurate time code source. Use Clock should only be used in
projects where there is no need for the time to agree with an external
time code source.
