If the Sync parameter “Syn Gen” is set to “MTC,” quarter frame messages of the time code type specified by “MTC Type” will be transmitted when the BR-864 is running (recording or playing). The transmitted time counts are summed to “SMPTE (MTC) Offset Time” as the song top is “00:00:00:00”.

*This is transmitted at intervals of approximately 200 msec.
