Free Run

Time code runs continuously from either 00:00:00:00: or whatever valid time code number you enter (you
can also jam time code from the Deva's 'Time of Day' clock).

Record Run

Time code starts and stops as you Record and Stop.
C. JAM ALL.
This mode Continuously Jams Time code and User Bits from an External Source.
C. JAM T.C.
This mode continuously jams only the time code. The user bits can be set independently.
C. JAM. U.B.
This mode continuously jams the User Bits, while the time code FREE RUNS independently. This mode
allows a second time code to be input as user bits from an external source.

Frame Rate

Toggles the desired time code frame rate of: 30 NDF (Non Drop Frame), 30 DF, 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 NDF,
and 29.97 DF.

Timecode Reference

Sets the reference source for the time code generator. The options are XTAL and AES.

XTAL

Use XTAL for Deva's Internal Crystal. Use this source when recording.

AES

AES for external reference from a digital source. For recording leave this setting at XTAL, even if you are
recording from an external AES source such as Cameo. If you are using Deva as a post (playback) machine
which is locked to external AES, set the TIMECODE REFERENCE to AES.

Toggle Timecode Type

This selection toggles the settings for entering and jamming data between Time code and User bits. This
selection changes the display on the 2 buttons to its right. JAM TIMECODE becomes JAM USER BITS and
JAM TIME OF DAY and ENTER TIMECODE becomes ENTER USER BITS and ENTER TIME OF DAY.

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.
