Timecode Sensitivity Table - ARRI ARRIFLEX 435 Quick Manual

Notes
This table is in effect as of January 1998. The latest information can be found in the ARRI Technical Note
P-1002 on the ARRI website at http://www.arri.com.
All the new generation Arriflex cameras are able to record SMPTE Timecode as a barcode on film. In order
to ensure the proper exposure of this barcode, the assistant has to set a "Timecode Sensitivity" (TCS) number.
The TCS number indicates the sensitivity of a given film stock to the wavelength of light produced by the LED
that exposes the film. The TCS number is set either on the magazine (535A, 535B, 16SR 3) or on the
camera directly (435, 435ES).
Timecode recording is possible at the standard speeds of 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 and 30 fps. Some 535s
cannot record Timecode at 23.976, but can be modified to do so by any authorized Arri service facility.
No Timecode will be recorded if TCS is set to "0".
