Timecode LED Behavior 

In order to make it easier to know what timecode/transport state the HD-P2 is in at a 
glance, the TIMECODE LED behavior has been changed as below compared to what is 
described in the Owner’s Manual. 

       
LED State 

Comment 

---------------------------- 
Off 

 

TC key disabled, non-timecode operation 

Fast Blink 

TC key enabled, bad LTC and TC Gen not running 

 

 

 

Transport can't run 

Slow Blink 

TC key enabled, good LTC or TC Gen 

  Transport 

Stopped 

On 

 

TC key enabled, good LTC or TC Gen 

  Transport 

running 

 

 

Whenever the TC LED is off or fast blinking, timecode isn't being used. 

 

When the TC LED is blinking slowly or on, then TC is good but the Transport is 
stopped. 

 

When TC is good and the transport is engaged (play, record, or waiting for 
trigger) the LED is on solid. 

Creating A New Project 

Following are the steps to create a new project: 

1.

 

Go to the Change/New Project screen 

 

MENU + PROJECT from the top panel 

 

“N” from a PS/2 keyboard 

2.

 

Select 

Create New Project

 

3.

 

Select the project template to use 

4.

 

Name the new project 

5.

 

Confirm 

 

SELECT from the top panel 

 

ENTER from a PS/2 keyboard 

Jam Sync 

In the Timecode Settings window, there is setting to enable/disable Jam Sync.  This 
essentially sets the HD-P2 to operate as if Infinite Freewheel is enabled.  It should be 
noted that a “re-jam” (connection of a timecode source) will not interrupt a play or record 
operation.  Re-jamming timecode must be done with the HD-P2’s transport in Stop.  
When Jam Sync is enabled, it is not possible to enter the Freewheel menu.
