put out time code permanently even in “ext. TC” mode like the Alexa, lead to resetting the ACL 204 in
“AUTO” mode.

To reactivate the jam port, just push the config switch repeatedly going >GEN>JamTC>manual/once>
and exit. The “M” indicator appears again, the unit is ready to be jammed once again.

CAUTION! Resetting the generator will restart the video or audio sync signal, doing this

while recording will result in a corrupted file.

GEN>EDIT

In this screen, you can edit a time code value manually.
Decrease or increase by toggling left/right. Holding
left/right is fast backward/ forward. Push to select.

Pushing the config switch while on the frames position

sets the time. To avoid inadvertently changing the time code, you will be asked:

Pushing the config switch while “old” is highlighted discards the changes and returns to the main
menu.

Pushing the config switch while “new” is highlighted will set the generator to the selected value.

CAUTION! Resetting the generator will restart the sync signal, doing this while recording

will result in a corrupted file.

GEN>OFFSET

An offset can be entered between the jammed time
code and the time code on the output of the ACN-TL.
Use this to compensate the processing delay that some
file base cameras produce.
If offset is enabled, it will be displayed in the main
screen. This shifts only the time code, the sync signal
stays locked to the frame start of the jammed time
code running in background.

The offset has a range of +/- 10 frames in 0.05 frames steps (equals 2 ms at 25 fps).
