your Express interface automatically creates fresh time
code that matches the original time code and its relation to
the other tracks on the tape. In addition, your Express
interface freewheels over drop-outs in the old time code so
that the new, clean code has none.
Lengthening a time code track
If the time code on your SMPTE track ends too early and
you need to add more code, you can use the 0 Frames
freewheel option. To do so, feed the original track into
your Express interface and record the fresh code onto a
new track. Be sure to start from the beginning so that you
regenerate the entire length of the original track. When
your Express interface reaches the end of the original
SMPTE track, it will begin striping on its own. To stop
striping, click the Stop button.
And remember, your Express interface must be in LT C
mode to do this, not LTC QuikLock.
Regeneration and time code bits
Except for when it is in LTC QuikLock mode, your Express
interface always regenerates fresh time code from its
SMPTE out jack. Time code user bits embedded in
incoming LTC on its SMPTE input are not preserved.
