System 5 Digital Audio Mixing System Operation Manual
14.10 Synchronizing Automation with an External
Device
System 5's automation can be synchronized to incoming timecode from an external
device, such as a tape recorder. TC Lock and TC Slave, available from the Setup menu
in the Machines Panel, establish the type and sensitivity of the synchronization.

14.10.1 TC Lock

TC Lock sets the elapsed time before System 5 locks to the incoming timecode. This
setting accounts for the time required by the tape deck to ramp up to its playback speed.
If the console locks to the signal before the playback speed stabilized, the automation
will not properly synchronize with the audio on the tape.
The default TC Lock setting is 1000 ms. When active, TC Lock can be set using the
SpinKnob. We recommend starting at 200 ms and increasing in 50 ms increments until
the automation is free of errors.

14.11 Bus Master Automation

The Bus Masters can be automated using the same modes as a normal channel. The
automation mode popup list appears in the standard channel's graphic display, next to
the Bus Master Strip.

14.12 Mix Assigns

The mix bus section legs can be automated like any other switch. The switch that accesses
the legs from the mix route page is the center switch. The Select/Punch (bottom left)
switch is used to assign the legs.
