When TC Jam is selected, JAM NOW will blink on the
LCD and the unit is ready to be synced with the time-
code source. Connect the timecode source and the
sync will take place automatically. When the sync is
successful, a message will be displayed to confirm the
operation.
Timecode defaults to 00:00:00 at power up if no time-
code source is used to jam the unit. A timing reference
is logged into the BWF metadata.

The frame rate affects embedding of the timing refer-
ence in the .BWF file metadata and display of timecode.
The following options are available:
• 30 • 23.976l
• 29.97 • 30DF
• 25 • 29.97DF
• 24
NOTE: While it is possible to change the frame

rate, the most common use will be to check
the frame rate which was received during the
most recent timecode jam. In rare situations, it
might be useful to alter the frame rate here, but
be aware that audio tracks many not line up
correctly with mismatched frame rates.

Use Clk CLOCK
Choose to use the clock provided in the DPR as op-
posed to a timecode source. Set the clock in the Set-
tings Menu, Date & Time.
NOTE: The DPR time clock and calendar
(RTCC) cannot be relied on as an accurate time
code source. Use Clock should only be used in
projects where there is no need for the time to
agree with an external time code source.

Key Menu

KeyType
The DPR receives an encryption key via the IR port
from a key generating receiver (such as the Lectroson-
ics DCHR and DSQD receivers). Begin by selecting a
key type in the receiver and generating a new key. Set
the matching KEY TYPE in the DPR and transfer the
key from the receiver (SYNC KEY) to the DPR via the
IR ports. A confirmation message will display on the
receiver display if the transfer is successful. The trans-
mitted audio will then be encrypted and can only be de-
coded if the receiver has the matching encryption key.
The DPR has three options for encryption keys:
• Universal: This is the most convenient en-
cryption option available. All encryption-capable
Lectrosonics transmitters and receivers contain
the Universal Key. The key does not have to be
generated by a receiver. Simply set the DPR and a
Lecrosonics receiver to Universal, and the encryp-
tion is in place. This allows for convenient encryp-
tion amongst multiple transmitters and receivers,
but not as secure as creating a unique key.
• Shared: There are an unlimited number of
shared keys available. Once generated by a re-
ceiver and transferred to the DPR, the encryption
key is available to be shared (synced) by the DPR
with other transmitters/receivers via the IR port.
When a transmitter is set to this key type, a menu
item named SEND KEY is available to transfer the
key to another device.
• Standard: This is the highest level of secu-
rity. The encryption keys are unique to the re-
ceiver and there are only 256 keys available to be
