NOMAD OPERATIONS Timecode Key
52
Pressing the Timecode Key
Timecode Slate
Pressing the TC key once brings you to, an inverted visual timecode slate. Pressing the MENU knob will freeze the
display and cause a 1-frame long beep tone in the audio on any bus that is selected for tone output.
This is used to provide sync for the camera to match picture and sound.
Timecode Jam
Pressing TC a second time brings you here.
This page displays Nomad’s TC reader, which is receiving timecode and user-bits from a source that is connected to
the TC IN BNC.
Also displayed is the current running timecode of its internal TC generator, as well as the local user-bits.
NOTE: Nomad contains a battery backed real-time clock. This clock is used to maintain running timecode.
It is advised to change the battery every 2 years. The battery that maintains the timecode and clock is a CR2320 3V
coin cell battery.
