Generator Start Time
To set the generator start frame using Pro Tools:

See the Pro Tools Reference Guide for more infor-
mation.
To set the generator start frame using the front

1 Press Set, and use the Up and Down switches to
display Set Gen (“SE7 6En”).
2 Press Set. One of the timecode display fields

LTC Generation/Regeneration
Regenerating LTC
SYNC peripherals will regenerate LTC whenever
the external positional reference is moving at
normal, 1x forward speed (±10%).
Make sure LTC is correctly routed as explained
in Chapter 2, “Installation and Configuration”.
If you need to adjust the level of the SYNC pe-
ripheral LTC output signal, see “Adjusting LTC
Output Level/Gain” on page 40. You can also ad-
just the SYNC peripheral LTC servo gain, as de-
scribed in “Servo Gain” on page 63.
To regenerate LTC using Pro Tools:
 In the Sync Setup section of the Session Setup
window, select any external positional reference.
To regenerate LTC using the front panel controls:
 Press the Positional Reference switch to select
an external positional reference (do not select
Generate).
To regenerate LTC using the SYNC Setup software
utility (Windows only):
 Select an external positional reference from
the
Positional Ref pop-up.
The SYNC peripheral regenerates LTC as soon as
it receives a valid positional reference signal.
