SETTING THE TIMECODE
• The PDR1000TC records internal or external timecode, depending on the setting of the TIME CODE SOURCE switch. It also performs
timecode chase-sync playback and outputs timecode to other machines.
• To set the internal generator, the PORTADAT should be in stop mode. Set the TIME CODE SOURCE to INT and press the TIME CODE key
until SOURCE TIME CODE appears in the display. Press SET and adjust the hours with the +/– keys. Pressing SET again moves the
flashing display along to the minutes section. After setting the frames, SET returns the display to normal - if the TIME CODE MODE is
set to free-run, counting starts immediately. REC RUN generates time code only when the PORTADAT is recording.
• The LOAD TC (JAM) key forces the internal generator to display (and run) from an external source’s timecode value. For this to work
correctly, the PORTADAT’s frame rate must be set to match that of the external timecode source, and the timecode source selector
should be set to internal. This function is useful for recording audio linked to film or video with timecode.
• To select the timecode output between tape or source, hold down TIME CODE and then select tape or source timecode with the +/- keys.

source TIME CODE, displaying USER BITS and loading the
timecode from an external source to the internal generator
(LOAD TC (JAM)).
6 USER BITS SOURCE selector toggles between external user
bits, manual use, date and external timecode.
7 TIME CODE MODE selector toggles the generator between free
run and record run.
