h
h:mm:ss:ff
…where hh:mm:ss:ff is the offset amount (range: 00:00:00:00 through
23:59:59:29). The default is 00:00:00:00. Depending upon the current
SMPTE format (see section 5.0A), the frame count will vary (0
through 23 at 24 fps, 0 through 24 at 25 fps, 0 through 29 at 30 fps and
29.97 fps). If the SMPTE format is changed, the offset value will be
converted to reflect an equivalent value in the new format.
2. Use the Numeric Keypad to enter in the desired offset. The cursor
will automatically advance through each pair of digits. You can
also use the Cursor buttons to position the cursor beneath the pair
of digits you wish to edit, and use the UP/DOWN buttons to
change the number.
Note: The SMPTE Start Offset can be set either by using the SMPTE
START OFFSET button (as described above), or from within the
Set Song or Locate Song displays while the SMPTE Display Type is
selected (see section 4.6A).
5.0C External Sync
The EXT SYNC button is used to select a source to synchronize to.
When this button is pressed, its LED will light to indicate the sync is
from an external source..
There are two types of synchronization sources: Locate Reference and
Clock Source.
• Locate References include: Internal and SMPTE. These can be used
to control the location of the BRC, without controlling the clock.
• Clock Sources include: Internal, 48 KHz, Video and SMPTE. These
control the sample clock rate of the ADAT/BRC system.
Note: Since SMPTE provides both a locate reference and a clock
source, the SMPTE option exists for both types of external sync on
the BRC. When synchronizing to SMPTE, it is recommended to
set both the locate reference and the clock source to the SMPTE
option. This provides a direct SMPTE lock.
Note: When synchronizing to an external SMPTE source, the BRC
will automatically detect the frame rate of the incoming signal.
However, because there is only a .1% difference between 29.97 fps
and 30 fps, it will be necessary for you to select the correct SMPTE
