Reference
The Reference drop-down menu sets the time code source when TimeCode is selected as the digital
audio Sync Source in Settings > Mixer Settings : I/O page Sync Source.
The Reference pull-down list allows for choosing between clocking the system's audio engine to an
Internal reference derived from the audio board's time code generator chip, or a clock derived from the
time code input port on the optional Video/TC interface. To set the digital audio word clock source, see
the I/O panel in the Virtual Studio Settings window.
TC Source
Shows the source of time code that will be used to synchronize Pyramix playback or to generate the
timestamp when an audio file is digitized. A drop down list offers the following choices:
Internal uses the code from the internal time code chip on the audio board.
VITC uses code from the Vertical Interval Time Code (VITC) input on the optional Video/TC interface
bracket / breakout cable.
LTC uses the Linear Time Code (LTC) input on the Video/TC interface bracket to derive
Auto Pyramix automatically uses any valid time code location reference from an Internal, VITC, LTC or
External time code source.
External uses the code from the External TC reader source.
External TC reader
Shows the current value of the External Time Code reader. The drop-down list offers a choice of Virtual
Transport and all external machines installed and enabled in Settings > General Settings : Machines
page.
LTC reader
Shows the current value of the Linear Time Code (LTC) reader chip. I.e. the external LTC input.
LTC Generator
Mykerinos boards have a Linear Time Code generator.
Output Level (dBV)
Shows the current LTC output level in dBV. The drop-down list offers a choice of output level from -
24dBV to +9dBV in 3dBV increments, or it can be switched Off.
Off when stopped
When checked Pyramix mutes the LTC output when stopped. If not checked, it continues to output it's
actual position. (static TimeCode) Certain video and audio machines cannot handle static TimeCode.
