REQUISITI POWER

The ProPlex CodeBridge has redundant power connections.

Power the device via a USB-C cable connected to any standard 5 VDC wall charger or computer USB port
Supply Power over Ethernet (PoE) by connecting the CodeBridge Ethernet port to any PoE enabled switch or injector.

In some cases, you may want to utilize both connections. Units powered via PoE allow access to the web browser via any computer connected to the same network. Additionally, all connected CodeBridge devices will share stream data via Ethernet. USB-C connections allow for MTC data communication as well as power-IN.

INSTALLAZIONE

The ProPlex CodeClock enclosure was designed with the touring programmer in mind. We wanted these devices to be lightweight, packable and stackable – so we fitted them with oversized rubber feet to keep them stationary on most surfaces These units are also compatible with Small RackMount Kits should they need to be semi-permanently mounted for touring applications

RACKMOUNT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ProPlex RackMount Kits are available for both Single-Unit and Dual-Unit mounting configurations To fasten the rack ears or joiners to the ProPlex PortableMount chassis, you must remove the two chassis screws on each side at the front of the chassis. These same screws are used to securely fasten the RackMount ears and joiners to the chassis For dual-unit configurations, both sets of front and rear chassis screws will be used

IMPORTANTE : Be sure to reinsert the screws into the unit after ears have been removed. Store RackMount Kit in a safe location until needed again. Spare screws are available from TMB if needed

RACKMOUNT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Single-Unit Small RackMount Kit is comprised of two rack ears, ONE long and ONE short. The diagram below depicts the completed installation of the RackMount Kit. These rack ears are designed to be symmetrical, so that the short and long ears can be interchangeable

The Dual-Unit Small RackMount Kit has TWO short rack ears plus TWO joiners. The diagram below depicts the completed installation of the RackMount Kit. This configuration requires the TWO center joiners attached at both front and rear

INSTALLING THE DUAL JOINERS
The Dual-Unit Small RackMount Kit includes FOUR joining links and FOUR countersunk flat head screws. These links are designed to nest into each other and are secured with the included screws and threaded holes. Each link piece is identical. Simply rotate the joining link and line up the installation holes to install on either the left or right side of the corresponding unit.

OPERAZIONE

The ProPlex CodeBride can be easily configured with the onboard OLED Display and navigation buttons on the front of the unit

SCREEN HOME
The CodeBridge has 3 separate HOME SCREENS that display different parameters of incoming timecode streams. Cycle between these screens by pressing either the buttone

Scherma di casa 1
The incoming LTC IN stream is displayed at the top of the screen while the bottom area shows oscillogram and voltage level bar to indicate signal level from the LTC source only
Note: Ideally the LTC IN steam should resemble a square wave with high output level. If level is too low, try increasing the volume at the source to improve the signal

Scherma di casa 2
This screen displays all sources of timecode that the CodeBridge can detect
The topmost source is the current active source which is retransmitted further from output connections. Whichever source is active will be highlighted with a blinking background

Scherma di casa 3
The third screen displays format information on all detected streams Like Home Screen 2, the top-most source is the current active source which is retransmitted further from output connections. Whichever source is active will be highlighted with a blinking background

Menu principale
The Main Menu can be accessed by pressing the button and majority of options can be exited via the button Scroll with the button and confirm selection with the buttone.
Nota: Not all menus will fit on the device screen so you will need to scroll to access some menus. The right side of most menu screens will will display a scroll bar which will help indicate the depth of scroll navigation

Generatore di Timecode
The CodeBridge can generate clean, high output LTC out of the two isolated XLR3 ports (located on the rear of each unit)

Aduprà u button, then confirm selection with the button to cycle between the various generator options

Format: Select between different industry standard FPS rates 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97ND, 29.97DF, and 30 FPS. If the selected format is compatible with MTC or Art-Net timecode, it will also be transmitted through that respective interface port (MIDI OUT or Ethernet ports)
Start Time: Specify a start time of HH:MM:SS:FF using navigation buttons
User Data: Specify user data in 0x00000000 hex format
Play, Pause, Rewind: User playback controls for generated timecode.

Nota: you must remain on this screen to continuously use the LTC generator. If you exit this screen, the generator will stop automatically, and the current source will change over to the next active source

Livellu di output
Boost or cut the output level from +6 dBu to -12 dBu. Everything outputting via the two isolated XLR3 ports is affected by this level change.

Questu include:

A pruduzzioni di u generatore
Re-transmitted timecode formats from other inputs

Aduprà ubutton, then confirm selection with the button to cycle between the various output levels. The asterisk indicator will denote the currently selected output level

Pre-roll Frames

Pre-roll is the number of valid frames needed to consider the timecode source to be valid and begin forwarding it to the outputs
Aduprà the button to highlight the Pre-roll value, then press button to edit
Aduprà u button to set the Pre-roll frames (1-30) and to save the value

Nota: The active stream display will always show incoming LTC stream starting from the 1st received frame regardless of Pre-roll settings

Post-roll Frames

Post-roll frames help correct erroneous or dropped frames in a timecode source
When a stream is stopped for any reason, the transmission will continue until a count equivalent to the Post-roll frames setting is reached
If an erratic source issue resolved within the Post-roll window, the device will continue streaming timecode without interruption

Use the button to highlight the Post-roll value, then press button to edit. Use to select a value place in HH:MM:SS:FF format
Press button to edit each value as needed, using or to change the count. Press after editing to save each value and repeat to edit the next.

Indirizzu IP

View set the IP Address and Netmask of the unit
Note: This is the address used to access the CodeBridge Web Browser. This is mainly used to monitor and update each unit with future firmware releases

Use the button to highlight, then press button to edit either IP Address or Netmask
Aduprà to select a value in x.x.x.x format. Press to edit, using to change each value and again to save. Repeat to edit each octet

PULIZIA E MANUTENZIONE

Dust build-up in connector ports can cause performance issues and can potentially lead to further damage during normal wear and tear CodeClock devices need occasional cleaning to maintain best performance, especially units used in harsher environmental conditions

THE FOLLOWING ARE GENERAL CLEANING GUIDELINES:

Always disconnect from power before attempting any cleaning
Wait until unit has cooled and discharged completely before cleaning
Use vacuum or dry compressed air to remove dust/debris in and around connectors

Use a soft towel or brush to wipe and buff the chassis body
To clean the navigation screen, apply isopropyl alcohol with a soft lens cleaning tissue or lint free cotton
Alcohol pads and q-tips may help remove any grime and residue from navigation buttons

IMPORTANTE:
Be sure all surfaces are dry before attempting to power on again
