appropriate number of film frames of delay for your system and press the OK button. Note that some
telecines have internal Prestore delays that must also be compensated for. If you do not know what
these are they can be adjusted for later.
The next step that you need to do is verify that the Telecine Setups that you have configured works
correctly for biphase only applications. Close the Telecine Setups window by clicking on the x in the
top right corner.

VERIFYING THE BASIC TELECINE SETUP TIMING

KeyLog TRACKER™ allows you to save multiple System Configurations. Each System Configuration
is stored separately and consists of all of the parameters related to mapping of the Time code and
KeyKode Inputs and Outputs, film type and rate, Telecine Setup, Capture modes and character window
attributes and positions. KeyLog TRACKER™ ships with several System Default Configurations.
These Default configurations can be copied but they can not be changed.
To verify the accuracy of the basic telecine setup copy the biphase test configuration for the video
standard you are using. Select one of the System Default biphase test configurations (depending on
what video standard you are using) and press the button. You are presented with the Add System
Configuration screen that has six tabs on it. Enter the name "Engineering Test" for your new System
Configuration. The video standard combo box should be the same as the video standard you are
using. The mode combo box allows you to quickly set up the 9025TR hardware for various
applications. Clicking on the arrow presents a list of modes that are available with the 9025TR and
KeyLog TRACKER™. Choose the Biphase Accuracy Test mode if it is not already displayed.
Selecting a mode automatically fills in appropriate information in most of the other boxes on the
configuration screen. See the System Configurations help item in the KeyLog TRACKER™ help file for
a full description of the System Configuration Screen.
The Codes tab is used to determine the source of the logical time codes and film codes that are used
within KeyLog TRACKER™. The video and audio time code sources are shown in the respective
boxes. KeyLog TRACKER™ keeps track of two sets of film numbers: the KeyKode and the ink
numbers. For the biphase test we want to update the KeyKode numbers manually so that we can tell
the accuracy of the system and for the moment we are going to ignore the ink numbers.
The Outputs tab allows you to select what timecode and KeyKode outputs are going to occur for the
box. There are linear timecode (LTC) outputs for both video and audio, three lines of vertical internal
timecode (VITC) for standard definition video or Vertical Ancillary Data (VANC) for high definition video.
Each of the combo boxes allows you to choose the outputs for your particular application. All of the
outputs are preset when you choose the Biphase Accuracy Test mode.
The Film tab allows you to choose the type of film that you are using, the film transfer rate and the edge
number encoding style and to adjust any of the KeyKode settings that are appropriate. Select the
appropriate Film Gauge and Film Rate.
The Capture tab allows you to set various parameters that happen while you're capturing data from the
9025TR. You can ignore the capture settings for the biphase test.
The Telecine tab allows you to choose a particular Telecine Setup. At this time the Default System
Telecine Setup is the only one available.
The Windows tab allows you to configure the characters windows burned in on the video. Make sure
that the Video Time Code and KeyKode windows are turned on. To do this, select the appropriate
