# AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator.SynchronizationStatus

Constants defining the synchronization status of a timecode generator .

```
enum SynchronizationStatus
```

## Topics

### Status values

[`AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator.SynchronizationStatus.notRequired`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator/SynchronizationStatus/notRequired)

The timecode generator does not require active synchronization for a given source.

[`AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator.SynchronizationStatus.sourceSelected`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator/SynchronizationStatus/sourceSelected)

A timecode source has been selected, but synchronization has not yet started.

[`AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator.SynchronizationStatus.sourceUnavailable`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator/SynchronizationStatus/sourceUnavailable)

The timecode generator has failed to establish a connection with a given source.

[`AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator.SynchronizationStatus.sourceUnsupported`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator/SynchronizationStatus/sourceUnsupported)

The timecode generator is receiving data from the source in an unrecognized format.

[`AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator.SynchronizationStatus.synchronized`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator/SynchronizationStatus/synchronized)

The timecode generator is successfully synchronized to the selected source, maintaining active timing alignment.

[`AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator.SynchronizationStatus.synchronizing`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator/SynchronizationStatus/synchronizing)

The timecode generator is actively synchronizing to the selected source.

[`AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator.SynchronizationStatus.timedOut`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator/SynchronizationStatus/timedOut)

The synchronization has timed out.

[`AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator.SynchronizationStatus.unknown`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureTimecodeGenerator/SynchronizationStatus/unknown)

The initial state before a source is selected or during error conditions.
