The Timecode and Automation tab controls various aspects of recording that are dependent on timecode as well as deck control and EDL settings.
Record control - Timecode can control record in various ways, from a simple “record if running” to SDI record flags for common cameras (Arri, Sony, Panasonic and Red) to automated multiclip deck control records.
The most common setting are the Generated TC modes and LTC source setting.
There are multiple timecode options for your recording.
Select “SDI” if you want to record the timecode coming into the recorder, embedded in the source video.
Select “LTC” 1-2 (linear time code) to record a house time code source connected to the LTC 1-2 input BNC connector. On 4 channel machines ch 3 and 4 use the LTC 3-4 input BNC connector.
Select “master LTC” to use house timecode on the master LTC BNC connection. (Note; master LTC is optional on ZX and not applicable to RX)
Select RS-422 to record timecode from the RS-422 connection to a slave device (see ** below)
Select “gen” to use internally generated timecode.
** RS-422 timecode is only available as a timecode source, for channels set to master RS-422 mode and that have an active RS-422 connection to a slave device set to remote mode.
If the channel requiring RS-422 timecode is sharing a project with other channels, the other channels must also be set to master RS-422 mode. Also, the RS-422 remote link must be active to transmit the timecode
