Important Note for LTC output
Please be aware that the timecode output feature is not a complete replacement for a SYNC E timecode generator. Although we have tested this feature thouroghly, we can't guarantee that it works with all third party audio and video devices. Therefore we recommend a test including post production workflow before shooting.
Battery running time will be slightly shorter when LTC output is activated.
In the US purchased TRACK E devices, the headphone output is muted when recording audio. Therefore timecode output will also be disabled.
