Film Sensitivity (TCS Value)
The intensity of the TC recording must be adjusted to suit
the sensitivity of different lm 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 lm types are
listed in the table or are availabe from the ARRI website.
