TIMECODE SYNC
This page allows you to define a network role for each SHOGUN CONNECT on the network as either Server or Client, so that Client units can connect to the timecode network created by the Server unit. It also allows you to add other devices like audio recorders to the network via Bluetooth. The settings that appear on this menu page will vary, depending on the network role of the SHOGUN CONNECT. Some settings will only appear when your SHOGUN CONNECT is set to Server mode, whilst others will only appear when it is set to Client mode. See Network role below for more information.
Bluetooth functionality is currently not enabled in SHOGUN CONNECT . This will be enabled in a future firmware update
Network Role
Tap to cycle between the options to set the network role for the SHOGUN CONNECT as either Server or Client. The ‘Server’ unit will then provide the timecode source for all ‘Client’ units on the network. For any other SHOGUN CONNECT that you want to sync with, ‘Client’ should be selected as the Network Role on it’s Sync Config page. This allows the Client units to connect to the timecode network created by the Server unit.
