In this guide we’ll show how to make a Zaxcom Nova 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”. The NanoLockit frame rate can be adjusted in the LockitToolbox or by connecting an external LTC source with the right framerate.
- On the Nova, press and hold the TC button to enter the Timecode screen.
- Tap the TC button or the F8/"Next PG" button one more time to navigate to the "Timecode Menu" page and select your "TC Frame Rate".
How to make the Nova accept external Timecode:
- Also in the "Timecode Setup" menu, Select "TC MODE"
- Choose "CJAM" or "CJAM TC"
For the Zaxcom Nova you need an LTC-OUT cable.
Connect it to the TC In connector on the left side panel.
Now the Nova accepts the external timecode source. You can check the Timecode Jam screen to monitor the incoming Lockit timecode ("Reader TC")
