SETTING THE TIMECODE
The PDR1000TC records internal or external timecode, depending on the setting of the TIME CODE SOURCE switch. It also performs
timecode chase-sync playback and outputs timecode to other machines.
To set the internal generator, the PORTADAT should be in stop mode. Set the TIME CODE SOURCE to INT and press the TIME CODE key
until SOURCE TIME CODE appears in the display. Press SET and adjust the hours with the +/– keys. Pressing SET again moves the
flashing display along to the minutes section. After setting the frames, SET returns the display to normal - if the TIME CODE MODE is
set to free-run, counting starts immediately. REC RUN generates time code only when the PORTADAT is recording.
The LOAD TC (JAM) key forces the internal generator to display (and run) from an external source's timecode value. For this to work
correctly, the PORTADAT's frame rate must be set to match that of the external timecode source, and the timecode source selector
should be set to internal. This function is useful for recording audio linked to film or video with timecode.
To select the timecode output between tape or source, hold down TIME CODE and then select tape or source timecode with the +/- keys.

Hello Staff, Can I connect a 2 volt supply to the Portadat and to which pins? Thanks

The HHB Portadat PDR1000 requires a 12V power supply, as stated in the manual. A 2V supply is not sufficient for proper operation. The manual does not specify which pins should be used for power input.
