Controlling the Display Cluster Connect the timecode signal to Line In of the primary display computer and

activate timecode synchronization using the timecodeMode command, as

described on page 268.

◆ NOTE: This method can not be used in conjunction with the WATCHOUT

production software. When the production software goes online, it tempo-

rarily disables any timecode input to the cluster.

Use the separate WATCHOUT Timecode Tester application on the primary

computer in the cluster to verify proper timecode reception, quality and signal

level. Connect the timecode signal to the Line In connector. Choose the appro-

priate input using the Sound Control Panel, as shown on the previous page.

◆ HINT: Use the Windows Sound Control Panel to adjust the input level, if

required. Note that this setting is system-wide.

Quit the Timecode Tester after using it. Do not leave it running when starting

WATCHOUT display software, which contains its own timecode reader.
