Use a Mix in a Monitor Preset

From the Home page {p.23} you can cycle through the Monitor Presets using the HEADPHONE knob:

press it to move to the NEXT preset

press and hold it to move to the PREVIOUS preset

NOTE: You can only display Monitor Presets that have been created.

Timecode Related

Timecode settings are project specific. What follows should be considered with a grain of salt!

Timecode Thoughts

Generally, your primary soundcart recorder will be the Master Clock for the Set and your timecode will be

counting in Free-Run mode, so go to the Timecode Setup page {p.28}, and change the TC MODE button to

FREE-RUN.

There are a couple of common themes for entering timecode:

Enter local real-time – this allows your timecode to indicate when Takes where actually shot.

o Assuming the local date/time clock is accurate, go to the Timecode page {p.27} and press the JAM TIME

button. This will tell Nomad to Jam the TC generator with the current clock time and count from there.

Enter 00:00:00:00 at the start of the workday – this allows you to see how long you have been working today.

o If you don’t have an external clock connected, go to the Timecode page and press the JAM TC button.

Since there is no TC source to jam with, it will load the TC generator with 00:00:00:00 and count from

there.

o If you have an external clock connected, set it to 00:00:00:00.

User-bits Thoughts

There are a few themes for entering user-bits, usually determined by what Post wants. Some follow:

Load with the shooting date (e.g. MM:DD:YY:xx, DD:MM:YY:xx) {x = doesn’t matter or zero}

Load with the shooting date and Take # (MM:DD:00:00 or DD:MM:00:00)

Load with the Take # (00:00:00:00)

There is a concern when dealing with user-bits; will you be feeding timecode to a camera? If the answer is yes, it

becomes important to feed a properly formatted date in the user-bits. With that comes the question of the date’s

format:

Aaton equipment – use the DDMMYY format

All other equipment – use the MMDDYY format

This is handled by going to the Timecode Setup page {p.28}, press the UB DATE STYLE button and select the

appropriate format.

If you want to load the shooting date and Take #, go to the Enter Timecode page {p.27}, press the ENTER UB

button and enter the month or day (2 digits), day or month (2 digits) and 0000. To have the user-bits count the

Takes, go to the Timecode Setup page {p.28}, press the INCREMENT UBITS button and change it from OFF

to ON.

If you want to load just the Take #, and an external clock is not connected, go to the Timecode page {p.27} at

the start of the shoot and press the JAM UB button. Since there is no user-bit source to jam with, it will load the

UB storage with 00:00:00:00.

Setting the Sampling-rate

Sampling-rate is more stable than timecode settings.

If you’re recording sound elements to be used to construct a sound effect, you will use whatever Post specifies. If

you’re recording dialog and on-set sound effects, the standard comes into play: 48 kHz. There is still the

possibility that Post might specify another rate, but that is unlikely.

Go to the Sample-rate page {p.46}, press the SAMPLE RATE button and select the appropriate value.

WARNING: After changing the sampling-rate, timecode MUST be re-jammed.
