Deva 5.8 and Deva 16 Owner's Manual

JAM TIMECODE (USER BITS)

This button manually jams an external Time code or User bits into the internal generator. When set to
JAM TIME OF DAY it will jam the time code clock to the time of day entered in the Deva SETUP /
CLOCK menu.

ENTER TIMECODE (or USER BITS).

This button opens a window that allows you to input Time Code or User bit data. ENTER TIME OF
DAY brings you to the CLOCK setup menu in Deva SETUP.

INC USER BITS ON/OFF.

This button toggles between incrementing user bits On and Off. When ON, the Deva increments the last
digit in the USER BITS each time you go into record.

DUAL RATE TIME CODE

A feature of the Deva allows it to sync to one time code frame rate and record another. For instance, you
can input 23.98 time code from an HD camera and record 29.97 time code derived from it. The 2 frame
rates will be in perfect sync matching up at frame one of each second. Deva will hold perfect time code
sync even when cycling power. Many other time code clocks can gain or lose a frame each time power is
cycled.
