In this guide we’ll show how to make a Canon EOS R5C accept external Timecode.
Turn on all your Lockit devices, choose one of them to be the Master Clock – then press-and-hold the green button to broadcast timecode and framerate through ACN and you are set.
Make sure all cameras and Lockits run on the same frame rate.
- On the Lockit, press green and red simultaneously to enter menu, then and navigate to “Project Rate”
- On the Camera:
- Enter Menu
- Go to “Recording/Media Setup”
- Adjust “Frame Rate”
How to make the camera accept external Timecode:
- Enter Menu
- Go to “System Setup”
- Move to the 3rd tab
- As “Time Code Mode” select “Preset”
- As “Time Code Run” select “Free run”
- As “TC In/Out” select “In”
For this camera you need an LTC-OUT-DIN Timecode cable.
Connect it to the BNC Timecode Connector
Now the camera accepts the external Timecode source – indicated by the “E” sign next to the Timecode.
