TC PREFERENCES
To set RADAR timecode preferences for CHASE:
Press the + (TC PREF) keys on the Session Controller or the + keys on the
KC-24. These preferences can also be accessed in the MAIN MENU / SYNC MENU / TC
SETTINGS / TC FORMAT menu dialogue.
Use the and keys to select either SMPTE or MTC as the timecode format and press the
key.
Select a timecode rate from the TC RATE dialogue. The , , and keys display the
available rates. The available rates are:
23.976
24 25
29.97ND 29.97DF
30ND 30DF
Use the and keys to make a selection from the current dialogue page and press the
key.
SYNC DRIFT
When RADAR is required to CHASE LTC or MTC, it can display the amount of SYNC DRIFT between
RADAR and the external timecode. When enabled, DRIFT: X SMPLS will be displayed in the OFFSET
window on RADARView.
To enable/disable SHOW SYNC DRIFT:
Use the key, the and keys and the key to go to the MAIN MENU / SYNC
MENU / TC SETTINGS / SHOW SYNC DRIFT dialogue and press the key.
Use the and keys to select ENABLE or DISABLE and press the key.
In a situation when RADAR is required to chase LTC or MTC yet SYNC REFERENCE is set
to INTERNAL, SYNC DRIFT will occur and, provided RECHASE MODE is ENABLED,
RADAR will eventually lose CHASE (play/record will stop), re-cue and begin chasing again.
Therefore, it is important to establish a proper Master for both timecode and clock rate. If
possible, have RADAR act as master but, if the current setup doesn’t allow for that, set
both SYNC REFERENCE and CHASE to SMPTE or MTC.
