Internally generated time code [gen]
Save time code at end of session. [save TC]
The time code tab allows the user to choose
the source for time code for the project and
other time code options.
There are three main sources of time code
available:
Internally generated
Embedded SDI (LTC, RP188, Serial)
ExSync hardware timecode module [ExSync]*
*Timecode by Ambient GmbH
Generated time code has three different run
types associated with it:
Record run [rec run] - starts at zero plus any
offsets, and increments only while record is
active.
Per take run [per take] - starts at zero on
each take, plus any offsets
Free run [free run] - starts at zero and runs
until the session is terminated or the TC
reset slider is used.
The save time code button [saveTC] enables
saving the end time code value when exiting
the session or restarting the application.
This is only relevant in generated time code
mode.
