About This Guide
This guide assumes you understand the ba-
sics of synchronization and time code,
know how to operate devices that send or
receive time code such as a video tape re-
corder, and how to connect your studio.
Refer to the documentation for your studio
hardware if necessary.
In addition, you should have an under-
standing of the time code requirements for
your particular project.
