The generators may also be momentarily synchronized to one of the readers, and then it continues to increment normally regardless of the reader code.

  • Page 14: How To Use This Manual

    Chapter 3 shows how to calibrate the system timing and verify that the HD9010TM is accurately numbering the film and video frames. Chapter 4 gives a discussion of how the default operation of the HD9010TM can be changed using System Parameters. The system parameters can affect the system timing through the Afterburner, placement of characters on the raster, 2:3 cadence control, functions of parallel inputs and outputs to name a few.
