Film Sensitivity (TCS Value)

The intensity of the TC recording must be adjusted to suit the sensitivity of different film stocks. The switch for setting the TCS level (Timecode sensitivity) is on the feed side on the magazine. The knob can be turned by hand if the magazine door is open or with a small screwdriver if the magazine door is closed.

“0“ means no recording, “1“-“9“ stand for the various intensity levels. The higher the TCS level, the higher the intensity of the recording. The difference in intensity of the successive TCS levels corresponds to one aperture stop. The currently set level can also be seen in Mode 4 on the display by pressing the “SEL“ key.

The TCS levels of the most frequently used film types are listed in the table or are availabe from the ARRI website.
