Jam UltraSync ONE to a Signal
You can connect your UltraSync ONE to an external device and then 'jam' to the
external device's timecode. When it has jammed, you can disconnect your UltraSync
ONE and then use it to transmit the timecode to other devices.
Note: For more information on the concept of jamming, see Free Running
and Jamming on page 39.
To jam your UltraSync ONE to an external timecode signal:
1. Connect your external device to your UltraSync ONE's LTC port. Use the blue
DIN 1.0/2.3 to BNC cable that is supplied with your UltraSync ONE.
2. Make sure your UltraSync ONE unit is switched on (see Switch UltraSync ONE
On and Off on page 11).
3. Press the Select button.
4. Set the Timecode Mode to Free Run/Jam-Ext (see Set the Timecode Mode on
page 65).
5. Press the Select button.
6. Use the Up and Down buttons to scroll to the TC Generator option.
7. Press the Select button.
8. Use the Up and Down buttons to scroll to the Jam EXT T/C option.
Your UltraSync ONE will now attempt to synchronise with the timecode source by
jamming to the signal. You will see Jamming T/C appear on the main screen as the
attempt to jam to the signal takes place.
If your UltraSync ONE cannot synchronise to the signal, the message Jam Failed No
Signal is shown. This usually indicates that the timecode source is not connected
properly or is not outputting a timecode. Check the connections and make sure the
timecode source device is set up to output its timecode.
When the jamming is successful, the UltraSync ONE is synchronised with the
external timecode source. You can now disconnect the external timecode source.
To keep your UltraSync ONE synchronised with the external timecode source, you
will need to re-connect and re-jam at regular intervals (typically 1-2 times per day).
