Customise On-screen menus allow you to easily customise the settings of the Timecode Systems SyncBac PRO to meet the exact needs of your shoot. The default display shows (on time-out also): TC + Unit Name + MODE + BLINK ID + RF CHANNEL+ SIGNAL STRENGTH + BATTERY STATUS Pressing the UP or DOWN buttons on the front panel takes you to the following information screens: 1. TC, Unit Name, Mode, BLINK ID, RF Channel, Signal strength, Battery status 2. TC, User Bits, FPS 3. Button Lock 4.
More on menus Each menu allows further customisation of your Timecode Systems SyncBac PRO Timecode Mode. Choose from five settings: • GP Master TX. This is a mode where the unit is the 'master clock', transmitting T/C to all SyncBac PRO 'RF slave' devices. • RF Slave. This is a mode where the unit acts as a 'slave' receiving unit, constantly locking to the incoming RF timecode from a :pulse mini base station & sync data, soft jamming & chasing the incoming T/C from an RF master unit.
BLINK Network Feature The BLINK network augments the existing wirelessly shared timecode data. The proprietary BLINK RF network keeps the same incredibly accurate wireless sync over the robust sub GHz ISM band, but adds enhanced two-way multiplexed status/control and metadata.
