The hardware timecode module can be jammed
to an external LTC source. See appendices for
cable pin definition and cable types commercially
available.
The clock is the same as that in the Ambient
ACD301 master slate, so it is extremely precise.
With the Exsync module installed, the Cinedeck
can operate as the master clock for any device
capable of reading LTC time code.
The Exsync timecode module is designed for
momentary sync. DO NOT leave the source sync
cable plugged in or it will create system instabilty
and potentially crash the timecode module clock.
When switching to ExSync hardware time-
code mode, the application will restart in
order to initialize the time code module and
sync to the outside source frame rate.
If any changes are made to the signal input
settings, this will also require a restart to re-
sync to the time code module.
