Manually Jamming TC with a Cable

Timecode can be jammed into the unit by connecting the timecode source to the microphone input or using the
stereo adapter. When timecode is connected, it takes the unit approximately three (3) seconds to recognize the
TC input. The screen displays

word
resumed.
When using the mic input connector with a Mic-level source, the audio level of the timecode signal needs to be
between -30 and -10 dBFS on the unit‟s meter. Any level above -10 may cause clipping, which will prevent proper
reading of timecode.
When using the mic input connector with a Line-level source, a Line-level to Mic-level cable should be used to
attenuate the timecode signal out of a generator to the correct audio level.
When using the Line-level input connector (STAxxx/TCA100) with a Line-level source, a non-attenuating cable
should be used.

NOTE: The TRX800 cannot be jammed. Its timecode will ALWAYS start at 00:00:00.

3. Connect the TC source to the TC-IN connector.
4. Power cycle the IFB100.
5. The degree to which remote control can occur:
a. Using the IFB100, whether or not it is connected to any recorder, you can manually: start and stop all
associated recorders, adjust the mic gain at the transmitter, independently adjust each transmitter‟s UHF
frequency and put all of the units into and out of low power mode.
b. For a TC source that is not a Zaxcom Deva or Fusion recorder; if the TC output counts as normal while
the recorder is in RECORD and freezes when the recorder is in STOP, the IFB100 can automatically start
and stop all recorders with the same Group ID number as the recorder is started and stopped.
c. For a Zaxcom Deva or Fusion connected to the IFB100, the recorder can automatically start and stop all
recorders with the same Group ID number as the recorder is started and stopped. In addition, it can
independently control the input gain, at each transmitter, from the channel faders.
