When TC is set at a Real Time frame rate (24 fps, 25 fps
& 30 fps) and the camera speed is changed to a Non
Real Time Frame rate (23.976 fps & 29.97 fps), a
warning will be indicated after the camera has stopped.
The same warning comes up if you set a TC at Non Real
Time frame rate and switch to Real Time frame rate
afterwards. Setting the TC at the used frame rate (Non
Real Time or Real Time) has to be done to clear this error.
While TC recording is switched on and the camera is
running, there is a delay of approx. 24 frames before the
camera stops after the “RUN” button is pressed to stop
the camera.
Entering User Bits with the Camera Display
• Using the “MODE“ key aphoto switch to Mode 5
(Timecode User Bits).
• Use the “SEL“ key aphoto to select the digit you wish
to change. The selected digit will ash.
• Use the “SET“ key aphoto to change the value of the
selected digit.
Note: User Bit values are hexadecimal so only values
from 0 - 9 and A - F are available.
Indicating Timecode or User Bits
• Using the “MODE“ key switch to Mode 4 (Timecode
time) or Mode 5 (Timecode User Bits).
The Timecode time indicator will indicate “hours:minutes“
in the upper line and “seconds:frame rate“ in the lower
line. In the case of frame rate, only positions before the
comma will be shown:
23 23,976 fps
24 24,000 fps
25 25,000 fps
29 29,970 fps
30 30,000 fps
At speeds of 29,970 fps and 23,976 fps the frame rate in
the “Nondrop-Frame“ mode count in accordance with
SMPTE RP136-1990, 5.2.1, to correspond to NTSC video
with 59,940 Hz. The “Nondrop-Frame“ mode results in a
time difference to real time of exactly 0,1%.
