Timecode LED Behavior

In order to make it easier to know what timecode/transport state the HD-P2 is in at a
glance, the TIMECODE LED behavior has been changed as below compared to what is
described in the Owner's Manual.
LED State Comment
----------------------------
Off TC key disabled, non-timecode operation
Fast Blink TC key enabled, bad LTC and TC Gen not running
Transport can't run
Slow Blink TC key enabled, good LTC or TC Gen
Transport Stopped
On TC key enabled, good LTC or TC Gen
Transport running
• Whenever the TC LED is off or fast blinking, timecode isn't being used.
• When the TC LED is blinking slowly or on, then TC is good but the Transport is
stopped.
• When TC is good and the transport is engaged (play, record, or waiting for
trigger) the LED is on solid.

Creating A New Project

Following are the steps to create a new project:
1. Go to the Change/New Project screen
• MENU + PROJECT from the top panel
• "N" from a PS/2 keyboard
2. Select Create New Project
3. Select the project template to use
4. Name the new project
5. Confirm
• SELECT from the top panel
• ENTER from a PS/2 keyboard

Jam Sync

In the Timecode Settings window, there is setting to enable/disable Jam Sync. This
essentially sets the HD-P2 to operate as if Infinite Freewheel is enabled. It should be
noted that a "re-jam" (connection of a timecode source) will not interrupt a play or record
operation. Re-jamming timecode must be done with the HD-P2's transport in Stop.
When Jam Sync is enabled, it is not possible to enter the Freewheel menu.
