Set
Sets the generator timecode. To edit hh:mm:ss:ff successively change the blinking value, press to
confirm, and proceed. TC generator will start on from selected value after confirmation, so you can
exactly trigger a certain TC start. After confirming the edited timecode you can also start a C-Jam
Master if desired.
FPS
Select timecode framerate, toggle and press. When changing an existing setting you will be asked to
confirm or discard the new selection. If video sync output is already enabled on ACL204 available
values may be limited or even locked depending on menu depth.
CAUTION! Switching between PAL and NTSC or Non-Drop and Drop rates will restart the generator from
zero with the new time base and interrupt the video or audio sync signal, doing this while recording will
result in a corrupted file.
Jam
Determines how the generator can be jammed.
“Full”: Automatic setting, unit will jam timecode value and frame rate to jamming source except video
sync output has been enabled on ACL204, in which case TC frame rate is locked to video and only cross
compatible rates are accepted for jam.
In that case the Jam mode will automatically fall back to Auto (see next parameter). Still, jam mode will
be kept active, so if you disable video sync “Full” will be hot again. This will effectively prevent misadjust
during operation while bringing maximum of ease on initial configuration.
“Auto”: Unit will only jam TC value but not frame rate to cross jam compatible frame rates.
“Once”: Unit can be jammed once and then lock inputs (cursor moves to “Off”). Unlock again by
selecting “Full” or “Auto”.
“Off”: defeats jamming of the internal generator from external. Still, you can manually edit timecode as
per below.
Note: The active jam mode will be visualized upper left to the running TC on the main screen by
indicating “F” , “A”, “O” or a lock symbol for “Off”.
