  • Page 24: Master And Slaves

    The slaves communicate with the master regularly, to make sure they remain synchronised. In the image shown, the UltraSync ONE units are set to run as slaves and the master is a Timecode Systems:pulse. In an RF network, your UltraSync ONE can run as a slave or as a master, but in a BLINK network, it can only be used as a slave.

  • Page 26: What If A Slave Cannot Find A Master

    What if a Slave Cannot Find a Master? Sometimes, your UltraSync ONE may be out of range of its master. In this situation, your UltraSync ONE cannot receive timecode from the master and so uses its own internal timecode instead. This is called 'free running'.

  • Page 28: Multiple Masters In The Same Network

    Multiple Masters in the Same Network You should set up your Timecode Systems devices so that there is one master device per network (RF channel). This ensures that all of the slave devices synchronise with the same timecode data (the timecode of the master device).
  • Page 29: Rf Network

    BLINK Network on page What is an RF Network? An RF network is a group of Timecode Systems devices that are all set to communicate on the same radio frequency (RF channel). The devices in an RF network can synchronise with each other over distances of 200m* (with internal antenna), and they communicate using our proprietary RF protocol.

    As a slave, your UltraSync ONE will receive its timecode from the master device, as long as the master is in range and is communicating on the same RF channel as your UltraSync ONE.
  • Page 36: Ext Ltc Input

    You can set your UltraSync ONE to receive timecode from a device that is connected to the LTC port. The timecode can then be used by your UltraSync ONE, and passed on to other devices, including any slave UltraSync ONEs in the network.

  • Page 38: Ext Ltc Input, Output To Wired Devices

    EXT LTC Input, Output to Wired Devices You can set your UltraSync ONE to use EXT LTC Input mode without using an RF network. This is useful if you cannot use radio communications, perhaps because of interference or restrictions on the use of radio in your filming environment.
  • Page 39: Free Running And Jamming

    UltraSync ONEs are most commonly used in a network, where they will synchronise with a master device. But you do not have to use your UltraSync ONE in a network - if you prefer, you can use it as a standalone device.
  • Page 40: Jamming To An External Timecode Source

    Jamming to an External Timecode Source If you want to use your UltraSync ONE in a third-party system instead of a Timecode Systems network, you will need to use jamming. This is because third-party systems do not recognise our proprietary RF protocol. Jamming uses a wired connection, and so our RF protocol is not used.

  • Page 49 Your UltraSync ONE will also detect any slave devices that are within range and using the same RF channel (as your UltraSync ONE). If a slave is detected, and it is searching for a new master, your UltraSync ONE will connect with it. Your UltraSync ONE will then transmit timecode, FPS, and userbits data to the slaves, so that they can synchronise with your UltraSync ONE (which is the RF network master).

    Master to Wired Device Only, No RF Slaves If you want your UltraSync ONE to only provide timecode to devices that are wired to the UltraSync ONE: 1. Connect your camera or sound mixer/recorder to your UltraSync ONE. If you want your UltraSync ONE to provide timecode via the LTC port, connect your device to the LTC port.

    Your UltraSync ONE can communicate with other devices via radio (RF). Before you use your UltraSync ONE, you need to set it to use the correct radio frequencies for your region. This is because the regulations for the use of radio frequencies vary in different countries.
  • Page 65: Set The Timecode Mode

    Note: These modes define how your UltraSync ONE synchronises with other devices, so it is important that you understand how they work. To set your UltraSync ONE to run in a particular mode, you need to use the Timecode Mode settings.
  • Page 66 *When an UltraSync ONE is free running and in RF Slave mode, it uses its own clock settings but continues to search for a master in the same network. If it finds a master, the master will set the timecode.
  • Page 67 9. If you are prompted to choose TX On or TX Off: Choose Tx On (Master) to set your UltraSync ONE to output timecode to slaves in an RF network (via radio). Choose Tx Off (Standalone) if you want your UltraSync ONE to output timecode via a wired connection only (no radio).
  • Page 68: Set The Rf Channel

    Set the RF Channel If you are going to use your UltraSync ONE in an RF network, you need to set its RF channel to match the other Timecode Systems devices in the network. (An RF network is a group of Timecode Systems products that all use the same RF channel for radio communications).
  • Page 69 Look at the main screen to find out which channel a UltraSync ONE is set to use. The channel is shown in the bottom-right corner, next to the battery indicator. In the image above, Ch.CE03 indicates that the UltraSync ONE is set to run in the Europe region (CE) and use RF Channel 03.

It will ignore the user bits settings from the master/external source. Use EXT Source U/B - your UltraSync ONE will use the user bits settings it receives from the master or external source.
  • Page 76: Set The Sync Output

    Set the SYNC Output Your UltraSync ONE has a SYNC output port that can output word clock, genlock, or timecode (LTC). You should use the SYNC port if: You want to output genlock to a camera for added accuracy You want to output word clock to a sound mixer/recorder for added accuracy You are using the LTC port as an input port and need to output timecode via a wired connection.
