Timecode Source
TCSC?
Returns the current timecode source as a string TCSC=n where n is an
ASCII ‘0’ through ‘2’ where;
0 = Internal (free run)
1 = External RF
2 = External RF (Cont) Free run between sync packets.
3 = External LTC
4 = External LTC (Cont) Free run if signal removed
TCSC=n
Sets the timecode source to the value n as in the list below. The S1C
will reply with the currently set source where;
0 = Internal
1 = External RF
2 = External RF (Cont)
3 = External LTC
4 = External LTC (Cont)
5 = Jam once to RF then go to Internal mode
6 = Jam once to LTC then go to Internal mode
Timecode
TCTM?
Returns the current timecode as a string
“TCTM=hhmmssff”
TCTM=hhmmssff
Sets the
current Timecode (only if in ‘Internal’ Mode)
User-Bits
(also see RF Userbits)
TCUB?
Returns the current User Bits
TCUB=uuuuuuuu
Sets the current User Bits (only if in ‘Internal’ Mode or RF
userbits switch (RFUB) is off)
Broadcast Timecode *
TCBC=n
Will configure the unit to broadcast on the serial output a
‘#TCTM=hhmmssff’ string periodically.
TCBC=0
Turn off broadcast
TCBC =1
Send Timecode once a second on frame 10. Frame 10 allows easy
offset adjustment to what is used/displayed.
TCBC=2
Send Timecode every frame.
Timecode Run/Freeze *
When the Timecode source is set to a non-continuous mode the output Timecode
will ‘freeze’ until the incoming signal is seen, triggering a running the Timecode.
Whereas continuous modes will continue to run the Timecode in the absence of and
external signal and then ‘soft
-
lock’ when the signal is re
-established. These functions
can override the standard behaviour.
TCRN?
Returns whether Timecode is running (=1) or frozen (=0).
