TimeCode Request
The radio buttons select the source of the TimeCode from the external machine. Sony machines usually
respond to all requests, so the Auto setting will probably be appropriate. If necessary E.g. where there
are several different TimeCodes present on a tape, you can specify a desired TimeCode source to over-
ride the automatic setting. U-Matic machines do not respond to all requests, therefore you must specify
the TimeCode source.
Serial Port
Clicking the Configure button opens the COMM422 Configuration dialog box:
Serial Port
Shows the current Serial Port selected from the drop-down list. If not already highlighted, select the
desired serial COM port. Standard choices are either COM1 or COM2.
Click OK to confirm the choice. This automatically sets the selected COM port with the proper parame-
ters of the Sony 9-pin communication protocol: 38.4 kBits/s, 1 start bit, 8 data bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit.
