Timecode Chase - HHB PORTADRIVE PDR2000 Operation Manual

TOP PANEL MODES
Pressing CHASE (F4) will show this screen:
Here you can set how the PORTADRIVE behaves when chasing external time code.
Note –
CHASE functionality requires an incoming external TC signal to be connected to the
PORTADRIVE Time-code LEMO socket.
CHASE MODE has three possible settings. These are:-
OFF
ONCE
CONTINUOUS
When CHASE is set to either ONCE or CONTINUOUS, the T/C Mode setting in the GEN TC page is
overridden.
CHASE MODE = OFF
CHASE MODE = ONCE
94
This is normal operation where the PORTADRIVE records audio on a timeline
based on the timecode generated by the TC Generator and is dependant on
the T/C Mode setting in the TC/GEN TC page (F1).
ONCE mode causes the PORTADRIVE to chase to the external TC signal at
the instant that record or playback is instigated.
In playback mode, this is useful for playback synchronisation with other
visual/audio devices.
In record mode, chase ONCE performs in the same way as normal operation
with T/C mode set to EXT TIMECODE. In both of these modes, if external
timecode drops out, the PORTADRIVE will free-wheel across the dropout and
carry on recording.
