SYNC Setup Software Utility Help
Right-click anywhere in the SYNC Setup dia-
log and select Help, or press the F1 key.
Time Code Window
The time code display mirrors the LED Time
Code Display on the SYNC peripheral front
panel, displaying (in hours:minutes:sec-
onds:frames) the time code address of the cur-
rent positional reference.
When the SYNC peripheral is reading odd-num-
bered fields, the separator changes from a nor-
mal colon (:) to a period (.); when reading even-
numbered fields, the separator returns to a co-
lon (:). Odd/even status is only available while
reading VITC, and only when VITC is within a
speed range from zero to about 50% of playback
speed.
Clock Reference
This control selects the SYNC peripheral clock
reference.
Sample Rate
This control selects the SYNC peripheral sample
rate (or the Pro Tools session sample rate, if ap-
plicable).
Pull Rate
This control Enables Pull Up or Pull Down for
the current sample rate.
Word Clock Out
This control configures the SYNC peripheral
Word Clock Output between 256x (Super Clock)
and the current session sample rate (1x at 44.1
kHz, or 1x at 48 kHz). Only Legacy audio inter-
faces require 256x Super Clock.
Positional Reference
This control selects the SYNC peripheral posi-
tional reference.
Frame Rate
This control selects the frames-per-second (fps)
rate of external (or internally generated) time
code.
Status Display
This display shows the current state of the SYNC
Setup software utility in relation to the SYNC
peripheral and external devices, as follows:
Resolver Locked Lights when the SYNC periph-
eral is locked to the chosen external clock refer-
ence, or to its Internal clock reference.
Speed Calibration Lights when the SYNC periph-
eral system clock and all output clocks are at a
frequency that corresponds with the chosen
sample rate. Capable of indicating mismatch of
pull-up, pull-down and frame rate.
For details about Speed Calibration charac-
teristics, see "Status LEDs" on page 25.
Regenerator Locked Lights when the SYNC pe-
ripheral is regenerating time code at its video,
LTC, and MTC outputs locked with the incom-
ing positional reference source. Also lit when-
ever the SYNC peripheral is generating time
code internally.
Connected to SYNC I/O Lights when the SYNC
Setup dialog is the frontmost window and is
communicating with the SYNC peripheral.
Waiting for SYNC I/O Lights when the SYNC
Setup dialog is the frontmost window and is un-
able to communicate with the SYNC peripheral.
