SYNCHRONIZATION

2 Set the freewheel option in the Sync/MMC window to a

high enough number of frames to cover any drop outs that

may exist in the current time code.

Try setting it to between 2 and 8 frames, unless there is an

obviously large dropout. If so, set it more than 8 frames.

This ensures that drop-outs in the old code are not

reproduced in the fresh code.

3 Roll tape and set the SMPTE volume levels.

When your Express interface is reading the old time code,

it generates fresh time code via its SMPTE OUT jack only

when it is in LTC mode; it won’t regenerate LTC in LTC

QuikLock mode.

4 When the levels are set, roll tape and convert as normal.

your Express interface automatically creates fresh SMPTE

time code that matches the original time code and its

relation to the other tracks on the tape. In addition, your

Express interface freewheels over drop-outs in the old time

code so that the new, clean code has none.

Lengthening a SMPTE track

If the time code on your SMPTE track ends too early and

you need to add more code, you can use the “One time”

jam sync option. To do so, feed the original track into your

Express interface and record the fresh code onto a new

track. Be sure to start from the beginning so that you

regenerate the entire length of the original track. When

your Express interface reaches the end of the original

SMPTE track, it will begin striping on its own. To stop

striping, click the Stop button or wait until your Express

interface reaches the stop time.

And remember, your Express interface must be in LT C

mode to do this, not LTC QuikLock.

Regeneration and time code bits

Except for when it is in LTC QuikLock mode, your Express

interface always regenerates fresh time code from its

SMPTE out jack. Time code user bits embedded in

incoming LTC on its SMPTE input are not preserved.
