USING MICRO EXPRESS CONSOLE
44
TOOLBAR SYNC DISPLAY
The toolbar Sync display provides detailed
information about what state the Micro Express is
in as a synchronizer. The following sections
provide a brief explanation of each term.
Figure 6-17: The toolbar Sync display.
Needs Time base
The flashing yellow “X” status indicator means that
the Micro Express is waiting to receive incoming
signal (LTC or MTC) from which it will derive a
time base. When it successfully achieves lockup,
the yellow X dims and the stable and play indicators
light up.
Stable
This status indicator means that the Micro Express
has established a stable time base. You’ll see this
indicator when one of the following is true:
The Micro Express is set to Internal mode
The Micro Express is set to either MTC or LTC
mode and it has successfully locked up to either
MTC or LTC
This indicator is not active in LTC QuikLock mode.
Locked
This status indicator means that the Micro Express
is successfully locked to a time base (internal, LTC
or MTC) and that it is also successfully converting
SMPTE time code.
Play (green arrow)
This status indicator means that the Micro Express
is generating or converting SMPTE time code.
Stop (red box)
This status indicator means that the Micro Express
is not currently converting or generating time code
or is parked on a still frame.
Time base source
This indicator displays either internal or external
time base.
Time base measurement
This status indicator measures how fast or slow the
current time base is. When the Micro Express
master sync mode is set to Internal, this readout
will always read zero because of the Micro Expresss
highly accurate timing circuitry.
When the Micro Express master sync mode is set to
an external source (LTC or MTC), the readout will
display in percent how fast or slow the incoming
time code is. This readout allows you to measure
the accuracy of external time base sources.
The time base measurement indicator is not active
in LTC QuikLock mode.
