7. Timecode
Overview
Timecode (LTC - Linear Timecode) is a professional synchronization tool
provided by Mic Pro. It embeds precise timestamps into audio signals to
help quickly align footage from multiple cameras and audio sources
during post-production. It is ideal for multi-camera shoots, interviews, and
film production requiring frame-accurate sync.
Usage Scenarios
• Multi-Camera Sync: Output timecode from Mic Pro to digital cameras.
In post-production software like DaVinci Resolve or CapCut, audio and
video tracks can be aligned automatically, saving time on manual
waveform matching.
• Internal Recording Backup: Once Timecode is enabled on the Receiver
and connected to Transmitters, subsequent internal recording files will
automatically sync timecode metadata and include an LTC audio track
on the left channel. This ensures precise matching with primary
footage even if the wireless signal drops.
• Professional Workflow: Supports LTC input/output and is compatible
with external timecode generators (e.g., Deity TC-1) to enhance
cinema-grade post-production efficiency.
• Drift Prevention: Timecode prevents clock drift during long recording
sessions, ensuring all devices remain perfectly synchronized.
Mic Pro User Manual
52
Operating Instructions
Mic Pro supports professional-grade Linear Timecode (LTC / Audio-TC),
enabling precise synchronization across multiple cameras and audio
sources. By outputting timecode as an audio signal, it allows post-
production software to automatically align footage, significantly enhancing
workflow efficiency for film, interviews, and live broadcasting.
Enabling Timecode
Swipe down from the top of the Receiver home screen to enter the Control
Center. Tap the Timecode icon; if it displays OFF, tap it to switch to ON. Once
activated, the timecode will start running. Tap the refresh icon on the right
to reset and restart the timer.
Timecode Sync Modes
Once Timecode is activated, four sync mode options are available:
• N/A
The Receiver acts as an independent clock source for internal timing only,
with no external input or output. In this mode, timecode synchronization
only applies to connected Transmitters—ideal for internal recording when
external camera sync is not required.
• L-IN（Line In）
Used to receive an LTC signal from an external timecode generator (e.g.,
Tentacle Sync, Deity TC-1) to perform a Jam Sync. The Receiver will
automatically detect and synchronize with the external master timecode.
• L-OUT（Line Out）
The Receiver outputs a Linear Timecode (LTC) signal to external devices.
Mic Pro User Manual
53
• A-OUT（Audio Out）
The Receiver outputs timecode in Audio-TC (ATC) format.
Notes:
• The timecode signal occupies the Left Channel, while the Right Channel
preserves standard audio (vocals/ambient). These tracks can be
separated for processing in software such as DaVinci Resolve.
• Use a 3.5mm TRS cable to connect the Receiver’s 3.5mm output to the
camera’s microphone input (digital cameras may require a Mic
Adapter). L-OUT mode is generally recommended.
Frame Rate Settings
1. Select a frame rate that matches your camera’s actual recording
settings.
For multi-camera synchronization, the frame rate on all recording devices
must be identical to ensure successful alignment in post-production.
2. After saving the settings, the Receiver will automatically output the
timecode as an LTC audio signal.
Caution: Since timecode occupies one audio channel, always perform a
short test recording to ensure your vocal tracks are captured correctly.
Notes:
• Ensure your Receiver is running the latest firmware (update via the
Insta360 app).
• We recommend recording a 10–30 second test clip before every shoot
to verify that the timecode is correctly embedded in the audio track.
• If your camera does not support native LTC metadata, you can still
achieve synchronization using the recorded audio track in post-
production software.

Customizing E-Ink Wallpaper

settings bar. Tap to access "Custom Wallpaper" and "Label Settings" to
customize your E-Ink display.

page. Here, you can customize the E-Ink wallpaper for personalized

Label Settings
Tap "Label Settings" to customize the following for different wallpapers:
• Label Content
• Label Color
• Display Label: Toggle whether the label is visible on the wallpaper.
• Label Position
This helps you quickly identify and distinguish between multiple
Transmitters.
Clearing Screen Ghosting
This feature is enabled by default. When the device is idle and charging,
and the E-Ink screen has not refreshed for an extended period, the system
will automatically refresh the screen to clear any minor ghosting caused by
static images.
Users can manually select "Deep Clear Ghosting" for a high-intensity
refresh. This effectively eliminates persistent ghosting and restores the
display to its optimal quality.
Sharing Wallpapers
For Custom Wallpaper, select a wallpaper and tap the share button in the
bottom-left corner.
The app will generate a QR code or share code. Friends can scan the QR
code or enter the share code to instantly apply the same wallpaper.
Note: The E-Ink screen offers low power consumption, zero glare, and high
clarity. However, due to the nature of E-Ink technology, color saturation is
limited, and the display may not fully replicate the colors of the original
image. We recommend selecting images based on how they appear on
the device itself.
