Jam Menu; Jam Rx Tc - Sound Devices 788T-SSD User Manual And Technical Information

Things to consider when using Time Code Hold Off:
• This feature only applies to Ext TC - Auto Record and Ext TC/Cont - Auto Record modes.
• If Pre-Roll is set, it will be applied. Pre-Roll will only capture audio from the initial detection of
a time code signal. If no Pre-Roll is selected, the fi le will begin after the Hold Off time expires.
It is best practice to set Pre-Roll, in the Setup Menu option REC: PRE-ROLL TIME, to a value
greater than the selected Hold Off value. This ensures that audio is captured from the moment
a time code signal is detected and unintentional fi les triggered by short bursts of time code are
not generated.

Time code setup is managed in the Setup Menu option TIME CODE: JAM MENU. To quickly enter the
Jam Menu simultaneously press the HDD
the display shows the value of signal present on the time code input and the bottom of the display
shows the currently set time code value. In addition, the 788T displays the frame rate of the incom-
ing time code and the current frame rate setting of the 788T.
The 788T time code generator can be set in three ways.

Jam RX TC

When the JAM RX TC menu item is highlighted in the jam menu, the external time code, user bits,
and frame rate are shown at the top of the LCD screen; the 788T internal generator, user bits, and
frame rate are shown at the bottom of the screen. To jam the 788T from an external value, press the
JAM soft key (TONE key) or the Multi-Function Rotary Switch. The screen will display JAMMING.
Once the 788T is jammed to the external time code, the external and internal numbers will match and
run in sync.
Make certain that the external time code source appears in the time code jam menu. If the 788T does
not receive valid time code from the sending source the jam menu displays lines in place of numbers.
Identical to the Ambient Recording series of time code products, the 788T time code generator can "cross
jam" differing frame rates. The 788T will cross jam time code at the top of the second for phase-accurate
(the 00 frames will match) time code at the set frame rate.
