Syncing Maxx to a Denecke Slate
The LTC stream out of Maxx has a “jitter” in the TC signal at 29.97 fps and 23.976 fps. This can result in the
Denecke TS-C or the TS-3 slates identifying the wrong code, if you set the slate to “Auto Set” (position 5). In
addition, if you use “Auto Set” you will experience a TC drift.
You don’t need to replace your slates. The Denecke Slate and Maxx can sync perfectly.
When setting the slate to receive timecode at 29.97 or 23.976, DO NOT USE the auto set. Just simply set the
rotary dial to the corresponding TC frame rate. When you sync the slate you will see “Sync Err” message in the
slate. Simply ignore it. The slate will accept the sync and the slate and Maxx will stay in perfect sync with each
other.
