If the selected video format is incompatible to the currently set time code value, a message appears:
You have no choice but to press the config switch and
are automatically taken to the time code rate setting:
While the time code is inconsistent with the video rate,
a “!” is shown next to the time code Fps indication.
Select a frame rate that matches your video signal.
Again, you will be asked to confirm the new frame rate.
Navigate to “new” and push the config switch. If you
do not adjust the time code rate to a value compatible
to the video signal selected, you will be taken back to
the video sync signal setting.
There is no way out of this loop with an invalid combination!
Note: Any combination of a “PAL-Area” video reference signal with an non-integer time code
(23.976 fps, 29.97 fps) or a ”NTSC-Area” video reference signal with an integer time code (24 fps,
25 fps, 30 fps) is considered invalid as they will drift against each other and it is not possible to
provide a reference signal locked to the time code.
Cross-jam configurations, such as a 23.976 frames video signal with a 29.97 fps time code are
allowed. An “X” will be displayed next to the Fps indication.
Once a valid combination has been selected and confirmed, you are back in the main menu.
CAUTION! Resetting the generator will restart the video or audio sync signal, doing this
while recording will result in a corrupted file.
