Syncing Deva 24 to a Denecke Slate
The LTC stream out of the Deva has a “jitter” in the time code signal at 29.97 fps and 23.976 fps. This can result
in the Denecke TS-C or the TS-3 slates identifying the wrong code, if the slate is set to “Auto Set” (Position 5). In
addition if “Auto Set” is used the slate can experience a time code drift.
So when setting the slate to receive time code at 29.97 or 23.976, do not use the auto set mode. Just simply set
the rotary dial to the corresponding time code frame rate. When syncing the slate “Sync Err” will be displayed.
Simply ignore this. The slate will accept the sync and the slate and Deva will stay in perfect sync with each other.
