Rob Lewis Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 If not linked Both should be set to free run and one jams the other. Make sure you have the right cable and that timecode is going the right direction. Out -In or bi directional etc. If linked together than use the C-Link cable.

Philip Perkins Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 They will hold a jam for a really long time (8+hrs) if your settings are right. Otherwise, CLink works great. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VM Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Make sure you have the right cable and that timecode is going the right direction. Out -In or bi directional etc. +1 Master : free run Slave : free run plus, after TC being plugged, "jam" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedric12 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 i just have a lemo out to bnc. i set both to free run. Slave is not reading the TC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LED Sound Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 As RVD stated above, you need a lemo to lemo cable to jam two 788t's or the C-Link cable that comes with the 788t when purchased new. There is no BNC time code input/output on the 788t. There are BNC's near the timecode input, and I believe it says "sync" by them, but those are not for timecode, they are for word clock.

Philip Perkins Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 What did you connect the BNC end to? As was said, all TC i/o on SD 7xx recorders is via the Lemo jack. So--Lemo>Lemo, correctly wired as out>in. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantin Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Further to the good advice above you should also sync the wordclocks of both machines. The digital clock is different from the TC clock. For this you really do need a bnc/bnc cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
