Your Microframe System is warranted against failure due to defects in workmanship or material for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase. Microframe Corporation will repair or replace any defective unit. Obvious abuse or mishandling of the unit is NOT covered by this warranty.
Quick Start Instructions 1) Remove the Time Code Generator from packaging, place battery in unit. Inserting battery backwards causes no harm and is an easy way to carry around a battery until needed. 2) Position the battery correctly to start Sync Master Time Code Generator. Do this for each unit you wish to activate for this shoot.
Quick Tips Checking Sync When the display is “asleep” you will notice a dash sequence running across the top of the display. This sequence is a reflection of the frame rate and current frame. Holding two displays next to each other and observing this sequence will give you a rough idea if the displays are still in sync.
Setting the time and changing the settings Setting Start Time: To set the start time simply press and hold both the “Mode/ON” and “+” buttons for 3 seconds. Once in the time set mode, the display will stop counting and await your input. From this point you can quickly set each digit on the display.
“SLEEP”. Press the “on” button until you see the “FLIP” setting. Press “+” or “-“ to change this setting, hold “on” to save. Note: the Frame count ends up on the top row. The “Flip Direction” option is not available on the D8009, as that model is missing a digit. Info Mode To enter info mode, while the display is on, press and hold [+] and [-] buttons.
Using SMPTE “Sync in” and “Sync out” Sync in and out are industry standard SMTPE in and out signals. Connecting any standard SMTPE out, including the Sync out of another Sync Master, to the “Sync in” will cause the Sync Master to sync its internal time to the incoming signal.
Battery Life Essentials UNDERSTANDING RUN TIME The Sync Master D8010 unit is designed to run approximately 8 hours on a new 9V battery. Rechargeable battery life may vary considerably compared to a standard alkaline battery. The battery life is also strongly influenced by the display brightness and how long the display remains on.
