TC Lock

TC Lock sets the elapsed time before System 5 locks to the incoming timecode. This
setting accounts for the time required by the tape deck to ramp up to its playback speed.
If System 5 locks to the signal before the playback speed stabilized, the automation will
not properly synchronize with the audio on the tape.
The default TC Lock setting is 1000 ms, which is sufficient for most devices. When
active, TC Lock can be set using the SpinKnob. While it is desirable to set TC Lock
to the minimum time required by the device, it is better to use a longer rather than a
shorter time, to prevent an inaccurate lock before the tape speed has stabilized. We
recommend 200 ms for non-linear operation.
