Operations
Jamming TC with a Cable
Timecode can be jammed into the ZFR by connecting the timecode source to the microphone input.
When timecode is connected, it will take the ZFR approximately three (3) seconds to recognize the
TC input. The screen displays TIMECODE followed shortly by JAMMED when it is recognized. When
the word JAMMED disappears, the timecode input source can be disconnected and normal
operation can be resumed.
When using the mic input connector with a Mic-level source, the audio level of the timecode signal
needs to be between -30 and -10 dBFS on the ZFR’s meter. Any level above -10 may cause clipping,
which will prevent proper reading of timecode.
