11.Timecode
The ARRIFLEX 416 is equipped with a TC generator which
produces 80bit Timecode with a data structure conforming
to SMPTE RP136, Format Type C. The TC generator is set
using a master clock. The precision of the TC generator
ensures that for 8 hours after the synchronization (at 0°C
- 50°C) the difference remains less than one frame, if the
time code generator of the audio machine is precise, too.
Every frame is therefore clearly identiable for synchro-
nization or editing lists.
A new feature on the 416 further improves the accuracy
of the synchronization between the 416 TC generator and
the master clock. To exploit this feature the camera must
be connected to an Ambient Clockit as the master clock.
Timecode is recorded in the magazine, its position on lm
conforming to SMPTE RP114, at standard speeds of
23.976, 24.00, 25.00, 29.97 and 30.00 fps.
The TC information also includes speed of recording
which is described in connection with Timecode as frame
rate. For the ARRIFLEX 416 the valid frame rate is always
the most recently set standard speed.
For Timecode operation, please make sure that
the magazine is equipped with a Timecode
exposure module K2.55034.0.
TC-Input
The TC generator integrated in the ARRIFLEX 416 can be
synchronized to other equipment with a TC generator. A
LTC signal (Longitudinal TimeCode) from any TC generator
is plugged into the “TCC“ socket. The signal level must be
higher than 500 mV p-p. 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.
