First post on this forum:
I have started testing my new MixPre-6 II and have run into some unexpected results for Timecode. I can jam the Gen Timecode from my Tentacle Sync E and let the MixPre keep Free Run Timecode. All goes well but in as short as three minutes, the MixPre is a frame behind. In 20 minutes or so, it suddenly lost more than a second as I monitored the Gen Timecode and the Aux 1 (Tentacle) Timecode in the Jam menu display.
Devices set to 24:00 fps and 48KHz and 32bit float. I’ve run tests up to ten hours and they all lose a second or more Timecode every once in a while. Someone suggest I must be using 23.976 fps but I’m not. If I was, the difference would be roughly twice as large as what I’m seeing.
I have a problem ticket and await a response this week.
It’s not an emergency, since the MixPre will keep good Timecode if I set the MixPre to use Aux 1 and not Free Run. It works, but I don’t want a Tentacle tethered continuously as I have other devices to sync too.
If someone has seen this and corrected it, I’d appreciate hearing from you. Firmware release is 4.0.0. I’ll get back to this forum when the mystery is solved.
Edit
I also confirmed this is a problem for 24bit audio as well as 32bit float.
