CAMERA SETUP

This chapter describes timecode, genlock, and multi-camera operations such as 3D and array setup.

TIMECODE

Timecode is a numeric sequence based on SMPTE 12M that aids in the management and synchronization of footage
and audio. Timecode is embedded in recorded RAW files, QuickTime
and MXF files (if recording an Avid
output. The camera can generate timecode on its own or can receive and sync to timecode generated by an external
source. RED cameras use non-drop frame timecode.
Timecode displays in the lower right corner of the Live Action Area on the graphical user interface (GUI) and is
embedded as metadata. Timecode is represented as an eight (8) digit sequence (HH:MM:SS:FF), where:
HH: Hours
MM: Minutes
SS: Seconds
FF: Frames
NOTE: Timecode is most accurate and effective when coupled with genlock. For more information, go to
on page 151.
