In this guide we’ll show how to make a Tascam FR-AV2 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 frame rate through ACN and you are set.
Make sure all devices 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”. For the NanoLockit, use the LockitToolbox to adjust the frame rate or jam it from another Lockit with the correct frame rate.
- On the Tascam recorder, no further settings are required. It will automatically detect the frame rate of the external timecode source.
