Slaving the DMX-R100
When set to TC GENERATOR, the DMX-R100 acts as master, with its built-in time code generator providing
the SMPTE master. When set to TIME CODE IN, SMPTE signal arriving from an external device at the Time
Code In connector on the rear panel acts as master. When set to MTC IN, MIDI Time Code signal arriving at
the dedicated MTC connector (not the MIDI input connector, which cannot accept MTC) acts as master. when
set to MTC IN (PC-PRT), MIDI Time Code signal arriving at the PC Port connector acts as master. If the PC
Port is being used for this purpose, it must be set to the proper mode in the MIDI window (see Chapter 3 in
the DMX-R100 Operating Instructions for more information).
When slaved to either incoming SMPTE or MTC, the DMX-R100 is capable of regenerating the timecode out
of the rear panel Time Code Out connector so that it can be distributed to other devices. To do so, select either
SLAVE LOCK or SLAVE LOCK (AUTO RUN) from the dropdown menu of the MODE button in the Time
Code Generator section of the touchscreen. (See Figure 8)
Figure 8
The difference between these two modes is that SLAVE LOCK (AUTO RUN) causes SMPTE to continue to be
output (freewheeling) by the DMX-R100 even after incoming signal is stopped. In SLAVE LOCK mode, how-
ever, SMPTE is output by the DMX-R100 only when incoming time code is actively being received.
