14 – Timecode synchronization
Basic operation
1. In timeline mode, load the session to be used for recording
or playback.
2. On the SYNC T/C screen SYNC page, select the master
timecode (Master TC).
3. To playback synchronized with timecode, press the PAUSE
key to put the unit into playback standby.
To record synchronized with timecode, press the REC key to
put the unit into recording standby.
4. Either of the following operations will enable synchronized
playback.
• While pressing and holding the SHIFT key, press the
CALL [CHASE] key on the front panel.
• On the SYNC T/C screen SYNC page, set TC Chase to ON.
At this time, the TC indicator becomes the CHASE indicator
on the Home Screen. In addition, if turned on when stopped,
the unit enters playback standby.
5. If master timecode is started when in playback standby,
playback synchronized with timecode starts from the
timecode time when this unit was synchronized with the
master timecode.
If master timecode is started when in recording standby,
recording synchronized with timecode starts from the
timecode time when this unit was synchronized with the
master timecode. [The meanings of these sentences are
unclear.]
The CHASE indicator on the Home Screen appears green.'
NOTE
During playback synchronized with timecode, to start
recording synchronized with timecode, press the PLAY key
while pressing and holding the REC key.
6. Press the STOP key during recording or playback with
timecode synchronization to stop the transport. The CHASE
indicator on the Home Screen blinks when stopped.
7. When stopped, press the PLAY or PAUSE key to restart
playback synchronized with timecode.
When stopped, press the REC key to restart recording
synchronized with timecode.
8. Either of the following operations will turn synchronization
off.
• While pressing and holding the SHIFT key, press the
CALL [CHASE] key on the front panel.
• On the SYNC page of the SYNC T/C screen, set TC Chase
to OFF.
If you do this during playback, playback operation will
continue. The CHASE indicator on the Home Screen is
replaced with the TC indicator.
NOTE
You cannot turn synchronization off during recording.
Press the STOP key to stop recording before turning synchro-
nization off.
Timecode offset
You can set an offset for master timecode synchronization.
By doing so, you can synchronize to master timecode for
playback with a set time difference.(See “SYNC page” on page
104.)
Rechase
This unit continues to monitor master timecode even after
synchronized playback starts. Should the playback time of this
unit and the master timecode become unsynchronized for any
reason, the unit can “rechase” the timecode.
You can set whether or not the unit uses rechase and the degree
of the discrepancy before rechasing (see “SYNC page” on page
XX).(See “SYNC page” on page 104.)
CAUTION
During synchronized recording, this unit only synchronizes
to master timecode once at the start of recording. There is
no rechase function as there is with synchronized playback
