Applied pull down video syncs (i.e. NTSC = 480i59.97) will change
30 FPS timecode frame rate automatically into pull down 29.97 FPS
timecode frame rate.
CAL display 0.990 informs about pull down timecode rates.
Stop the timecode generator manually by pressing the left key again.
The generator userbits can be edited accordingly when display mode
is set to UB. The userbit display shows 8 digits separated by decimal
points. Each userbit group/digit can be set to hexadezimal values
from 0 to F.
Userbits are used for coding date, takes or film reel numbers and are
handled completely separated from the timecode data.
MMC:
In GENERATOR mode you can also remote control the timecode
generator by sending MMC midi machine control comands via USB
or MIDI ports.
Example: DAW software sends MMC comands to control the mif 4
timecode generator genlocked to video syncs and then slaves itself
to the returned MTC midi timecode generated from the mif 4 to
achieve video genlocked playback start (locked to a virtual video
machine).
JAM SYNC:
If you are using the unit in LTC, MTC or USB mode and an external,
running timecode signal is present, you will be able to execute a JAM
SYNC by holding down the left key for two seconds.
JAM SYNC switches from an external timecode mode (LTC, MTC or
USB) over to GEN generator mode and is continiously generating
the actual running timecode.
In all operation modes (LTC, MTC, USB and GEN) the left key is
illuminated red when the timecode generator is running.
