Bi-Phase/Tach Parameters
Used for specialized applications that involve
film or other equipment that output Bi-
Phase/Tach information. These parameters
must be set to match the Bi-Phase or Tach
source to achieve lock.
Generator/Bi-Phase Preset
Serves two functions, as determined by the cur-
rent SYNC peripheral mode:
Generate Mode Sets the timecode start time di-
rectly by clicking in the Hrs:Min:Sec:Frm fields
and typing in a value. The Tab key will cycle
though the fields.
Bi-Phase/Tach Mode Zeros the timecode coun-
ter, to allow the SYNC peripheral to generate
timecode in relation to the pulses of the incom-
ing Bi-Phase/Tach information. Establishes a
timecode start point (first frame of a reel, for ex-
ample).
Variable Speed Override (VSO)
Used to change (or varispeed) the rate of the
SYNC peripheral internal crystal-referenced
clock. This change is measured in cents, or hun-
dredths of a semitone. VSO is available at any
Positional reference setting, but only when the
Clock Reference is set to Internal/VSO.
The available range of VSO values depends on
the session sample rate and any pull up/pull
down factors currently applied to the session.
For more information, see “Variable Speed
Override (VSO)” on page 42.
