Input Mode
Select Input to route or copy the input timecode directly to the output. This is useful when the frame
rates of the input and output are the same and you want to preserve the original timecode.
It's important to make sure that the Drop Frame mode in the timecode Setup menu is set to Auto to
ensure the output timecode will match the input timecode.
Please note that if you want to ensure that the output timecode matches your input timecode, do not
use the processor as a frame synchronizer with external reference. You should set the Reference menu
to "Input." The external reference can cause a dropped or duplicated frame in the output, which will
affect your timecode count.

Input Regen Mode
The Input Regen mode synchronizes the output timecode to the input timecode and is often used
when performing frame rate conversions, such as PAL-to-NTSC or 1080i50-to-1080i59.94. When using
this mode, the output timecode will resynchronize to the input timecode at the top of every second.
This keeps the "seconds" digits synchronized between the input and output timecode.
The Input Regen mode should only be used when your Teranex processor is locked to your input video.
If you must reference the processor to an external reference, the Jam Sync timecode mode should be
used instead. Jam Sync mode will start the new output timecode from a certain user-defined input
timecode value, then "free-run" the output timecode, as opposed to syncing to the input timecode
every second.
