In this guide we’ll show how to make a Sony FX6 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 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 (Regular) Menu (Short-Press Menu Button)
- Go to “Frequency/Scan”
- Adjust Frame Rate (Left column)
How to make the camera accept external Timecode:
- Enter advanced Menu by holding the Menu button
- Go to “TC/Media”
- Go to “Timecode”
- As “Mode” select “Preset”
- As “Run” select “Free run”
Move the switch next to the camera’s timecode interface to "In" – as you want to feed in timecode.
For this camera you need an LTC-OUT timceode cable.
Connect it to the BNC Timecode Connector
Now the camera accepts the external Timecode source – indicated by the “Ext Link” sign next to the Timecode.
