Zaxcom ZFR 200 / 300

TC Jam Mode Select

TC JAM MODE:
AUTO-JAM NORMAL
If you are using record run time code this menu controls if the ZFR will go into record when it receives a
record run time code.
• AUTO-JAM NORMAL– The ZFR will continuously jam time code via ZaxNet.
• AUTO-LOAD REC RUN – The ZFR will continuously jam time code via ZaxNet and will start and stop
the recording if the unit is receiving record run time code.
In this mode the ZFR will go into record mode when it detects rolling time code. And will stop when
the time code stops. If time code is lost because the IFB signal is too weak the unit will not stop but
will continue in whatever state it was in until the time code signal is restored.

Time Code Source Select

TC SOURCE:
IFB (RF)
This menu selects how the ZFR will receive its time code.
• IFB (RF) – The ZFR will receive time code via ZaxNet being broadcast from Nomad, a QRX,
IFB100/200, TRX900CL, a TRX transmitter or a ZFR recorder that is transmitting ZaxNet time code.
• AUDIO INPUT– The ZFR, with a proper cable, will receive time code via the microphone input.
When time code is connected, it takes the ZFR approximately three seconds to recognize the TC. The
screen displays TIME CODE followed by JAM when it is recognized. When the word JAM disappears,
the time code input source can be disconnected and normal operation can be resumed.
Please note that when using the microphone input connector, the audio level of the time code signal
needs to be between -30 and -10 dBFS on the unit's meter. Any level above -10 may cause clipping,
which will prevent proper reading of time code.

Mute Time Code Transmission Until Jammed

MUTE TC UNTIL
JAMMED: OFF
If this menu sets is set to ON the ZaxNet transmitter will not broadcast time code over ZaxNet until it
receives and jams its own internal time code generator. This prevents the ZFR from sending incorrect
time code to another device.
