Root menu

>Unit >Clock >P2out >P2in >MIDI >USB
The root-level menu allows you to navigate between the
various menus. Since this is for navigation only, there is no
equivalent in Nuendo's Project Synchronization Setup
dialog.
Note that the date shown at the top left corresponds
to the installed firmware version.

Unit menu

The Unit menu deals with the basic SyncStation settings
and how timecode is generated in the unit.
Unit 01 - Master & Timecode Source
Unit 01-Master & Timecode Source
>Nuendo >RS422-Out >MTC >VMast >LTC
This is perhaps the single most important setting of the
SyncStation. This determines the timecode source. In
stand-alone mode it also determines where all the trans-
port machine control commands will be routed. (In Nuendo
it is possible to set a different machine control destination.
See the Operation Manual for details.)
There are five choices for the timecode source:
>Nuendo
When Nuendo is selected as the timecode source, the
SyncStation will generate timecode based on the position
of the cursor in the Project window and what the current
Project Setup settings are regarding the standard and
frame rate of Nuendo's timecode. All transport commands
will be routed to Nuendo via USB. The Machine Control
Input must be set to SyncStation in order for Nuendo to
receive these commands.
>RS422-Out
When using the RS422 Out as the timecode source, the
SyncStation will lock to timecode that a connected 9-Pin
device is being polled for. In order to have Nuendo control
this device, the Machine Control Output in the Project
Synchronization Setup dialog will have to be sent to the
SyncStation's RS422 Out port and "sync" must be en-
abled in Nuendo.
>MTC
MIDI timecode can be the master timecode source. The
SyncStation will lock to MTC received from the MIDI In
connector.
>VMast (Virtual Master)
In this mode, the SyncStation's internal timecode generator
will be the master timecode source. The SyncStation acts
like a virtual device and responds to machine control com-
mands arriving from Nuendo via USB, MMC on the MIDI In
connector, or RS422 commands from the 9-Pin input.
