Time Code

TC-Input

The TC generator integrated in the ARRIFLEX 16SR 3 can be synchronized onto other equipment with TC generator. An LTC signal (Longitudinal Time Code) from any TC generator is plugged into the ACC socket. The signal level must be higher than 500 mVpp. The camera automatically takes on TC time and TC user bits. If the LTC signal is correctly transferred the TC recording will be automatically switched on.

•Using the MODE key switch to Mode 4 (time code time)

•Plug the cable with the TC signal into the ACC socket. The last two entries on the indicator show a blinking „ec“ (external code). If the LTC signal is correctly transferred the indication „cc“ (correct code) appears for approx. 10 second before the indicator on the generator frame rate switches back.

TC-Output

TC information is constantly available as 80bit LTC on the CCU socket and in Standby also on the ACC socket. Both outputs 5 V asymmetrical.

Through the TC-output TC-compatible equipment can be synchronized on the set once (for 8 hours) on the camera’s time code or constantly supplied with time code by the camera. The camera then takes on the master clock function.
