Generator Input

The Timecode Generator creates timecode from the computer’s clock or from a user specified time.

Using the computer clock

1. Set the external input in Sync Manager to be Generator
2. Open the settings by clicking the settings cog
3. Ensure the switch “Use Computer Clock” is enabled.

When using the computer clock, the stop jog control is disabled, while play and pause can be used to hold and restart timecode.

Using an arbitrary time

1. Set the external input in Sync Manager to be Generator
2. Open the settings by clicking the settings cog
3. Ensure the switch “Use Computer Clock” is disabled
4. Set the desired start time in the “Start Time” readout

When using an arbitrary time the stop jog control resets the timecode to the Start Time. Pausing and restarting will not reset to the start time.
