Pressing the Timecode Key
Timecode Slate
Pressing the
TC
key once brings you to, an inverted visual timecode slate. Pressing the
MENU
knob will freeze the
display and cause a 1-frame long beep tone in the audio on any bus that is selected for tone output.
This is used to provide sync for the camera to match picture and sound.
Timecode Jam
Pressing
TC
a second time brings you here.
This menu displays Maxx’s TC reader. The reader is displaying timecode and User-Bits from a source that is connected
to the timecode in.
Also displayed are the current running timecode of its internal timecode generator, as well as the local user-bits.
NOTE:
Maxx contains a battery backed real-time clock. This clock is used to maintain running timecode.
It is advised to change the battery every 2 to 3 years. The battery that maintains the timecode and clock is a CR2320
3V coin cell battery.
