Pressing the Time Code Key

Time Code Slate

Pressing the TC Key once brings you to, an inverted visual time code slate.
When the time code slated is displayed and you press the MENU knob, the time code will freeze the and
send a 1-frame beep tone to any bus that has tone routed to an output.
This is used to provide a visual sync for the camera to match picture and sound.

Time Code Jam

Pressing the TC Key a second time brings you here.
This page displays Nomads time code reader, which is receiving time code and user-bits from a source that
is connected to the time code in on the BNC connector.
Also displayed is the current running time code of Nomads internal time code generator, as well as the
user-bits.
From this page you can jam the time code and user-bits from a connected time code source or jam time
code and user-bits from Nomads internal calendar and clock.
NOTE: Nomad contains a battery backed real-time clock. This clock is used to maintain running time code
and internal calendar. It is advised to change the battery every 2 to 3 years. The battery that maintains the
time code and clock is a CR2320 3V coin cell battery.
