Timecode

1. Timecode overview
   The BP-TRX comes with an internal crystal based timecode generator. Timecode functionality will be available in the following TRX modes:TX+REC. RX MODE, MASTER TX, CAMERA HOP, TC BOX, REC ONLY.
   Timecode is time information written to data when recording video and audio. It is used for video editing, control of other devices, and synchronization of audio and video. If video and audio data both have recorded timecodes, aligning them to a timeline and synchronizing them together is easy when using nonlinear editing software.
   ” The product uses a precision oscillator that genera res timecode with a high degree of accuracy(+/- 0.5 ppm, or approximately 1 frame per 24 hours).

2. Timecode mode setting
   The timecode mode settings allow you to specify whether the BP-TRX generates timecode or not. An internal timecode will be generated only when recording or
   regardless of the recording mode.
   Short press MENU SEL button, select TC SYNC, press MENU SEL to enter timecode setting interface. Select the mode, press MENU SEL to select the mode you required.

3. Frame rate setting for internal timecode
   You can set the frame rate for internal timecode as 23.976, 24,25, 29.97, 29.97DF, 30,30DF. DF stands for Drop frame.
   Short press MENU SEL button, select TC SYNC, press MENU SEL to enter timecode setting interface. Select the FPS, press MENU SEL to select the FPS you required.
   Matching frame r.ites must be set in adv.ince on all connected video and .iudio devices.

4. Timecode jamming operation

5. Jamming external timecode
   You can use the included timecode sync & audio cable to jam the BP-TRX to an external timecode . Continue to below steps:
   Short press MENU SEL button, select TC SYNC, press MENU SEL to enter timecode setting interface. When external timecode input is detected. Select JAM to sync the internal and external timecode.

6. Jamming internal timecode
   The Audio output can be engaged to give a timecode source, to connect or jam other devices, such as recorders, cameras, other BP-TRX units or third party timecode devices.
   You also can use included time code sync & audio cable or TRS cable to connect BP-TRX audio output jack to external timcode input jack. Perform the time code synchronization operation as follows:
   lf TRX MODE sets as RX MODE or CAMERA HOP MODE, select the OUT TYPE as SYNC, press the Up or Down buttons to select TC SYNC, press MENU SEL button to select Jam to synchronize the timecode.lf TRX MODE is set to TX+REC MODE/MASTER TX MODE/TC BOX/REC ONLY, press MENU SEL button, select TC SYNC, press the down button to select OUTPUT as ON. Select Jam to synchronize the timecode. If other modes, skip this step.
   “‘ ffTRX MODE is set to /EM MODE, there is no timecode output.

7. Restarting the internal timecode with a specified value
   Press MENU SEL to select Restart” and press MENU SEL. Set the restart value.
   Move cursor or change value, press UP/Down button.
   Select parameter to change, press MENU SEL button.
   M ff timecode mode Is set to Int RTC Run, we cant restart the internal tlmecode.

8. Timecode level setting
   To accommodate a certain TC level needed by a particular connected device, and if ExtTC is not detected during timecode synchronization, the BP-TRX can increase or decrease the voltage level of timecode output to make it to be detected . The adjustment range is from 0.SV to 3.0V in 0.1V steps. The system defaults to 2.SV.
