LTC Generation/Regeneration
Regenerating LTC
SYNC peripherals will regenerate LTC whenever
the external positional reference is moving at
normal, 1x forward speed (±10%).
Make sure LTC is correctly routed as explained
in Chapter 2, "Installation and Configuration".
If you need to adjust the level of the SYNC pe-
ripheral LTC output signal, see "Adjusting LTC
Output Level/Gain" on page 40. You can also
adjust the SYNC peripheral LTC servo gain, as
described in "Servo Gain" on page 63.
To regenerate LTC:
From Pro Tools:
In the Sync Setup section of the Session Setup
window, select any external positional refer-
ence.
From the front panel:
Press the Positional Reference switch to select
an external positional reference (do not select
Generate).
From the SYNC Setup software utility
(Windows only):
Select an external positional reference from
the SYNC Setup Positional Ref pop-up.
The SYNC peripheral regenerates LTC as soon as
it receives a valid positional reference signal.
