Only visible in ACN enabled modes “C-Jam” and “TRX”. “Slave”, “Jam”, and “Master” options are only
available in C-Jam mode
“Slave”: receive mode. This is the default and on power cycling it will fall back to this. If the unit once
had been jammed from a “Master” and initiated the dynamic C-Jam tune this will be indicated by “S” on
the main screen lower right. If that master is lost but C-Jam tune is still in operation “S” will alter to “(S)”.
Keep this mode for all units but the dedicated C-Jam master.
“Jam” fires off a One-Time-Jam burst, used best when only setting the free running TC generator is
required. Quite similar to the classic jam using a cable, you will need to re-jam units after battery
change or power cycle. As this is a singular operation the unit will fall back to the “Slave” mode in idle.
“Master”: The unit will resend timecode pulses every couple of seconds. “Slaves” will automatically
rejam their generator if not set and dynamically adjust their clock reference to best match the speed of
the “Master”. Thus, an accuracy window of 10us is achieved, reflecting synchronicity on video line level.
After replacing the batteries on either slave it will automatically jam to the set TC.
Note: Sending out single or continuous jams requires the generator to be set. If not done so already
you will be prompted to either accept the current TC (additionally to edit to preference for Master)
before sending out the jam. Also, as just one unit is allowed as Master within ACN, enabling will be
blocked with an according message if the unit receives broadcasts from another Master. Master is
exclusive to C-Jam mode, selecting any other mode will immediately stop C-Jam broadcasts.
