The 'Infinite' freewheel setting
The Infinite freewheel setting in the Freewheel
Address menu causes the 828mkII to freewheel
indefinitely, until it receives readable time code
again. To make it stop, click the Stop Freewheeling
button.
Freewheel clock
Freewheeling occurs when there is glitch or
drop-out in the incoming SMPTE time code for
some reason. The 828mkII can freewheel past the
drop-out and then resume lockup again as soon as
it receives a stable, readable clock signal.
The 828mkII cannot freewheel address without
clock. Therefore, the Freewheel Address setting will
always be lower than or equal to the Freewheel
Clock setting, and both menus will update as
needed, depending on what you choose.
