Keykode Accuracy Test - evertz 9025TR Series Instruction Manual

5. Thread this film onto the telecine, and place the reference frame in the gate. Enter the foot
and frame number corresponding to the reference frame in the Frame Number box. Select
the perf number that corresponds to the perf of the reference frame using the Perf pull
down. The barcode in the graphic should look like it does beside the reference frame on the
film. Press the Next button to proceed to the next step.
6. Put the telecine in play and proceed to learn the head offset. When the telecine is running
and KeyKode is reading the learn button becomes active and the KeyKode/Biphase error
will show the number of frames of discrepancy between the KeyKode coming in from the
reader and the number that you manually entered.
KeyLog TRACKER™ will automatically calculate the head offset and send it to the 9025TR.
The KeyKode/Biphase error and KeyKode perf offset will show ?? for a few seconds and
then they will be updated with the information based on the new head offset.
KeyKode/Biphase error should be zero. The KeyKode perf offset should match the target
perf offset shown. The target perf offset is calculated by KeyLog TRACKER™ based on the
perf orientation of the reference frame's KeyKode. If necessary you will be prompted by a
red warning message to manually adjust the head offset or to press the Learn button again.
When you have learned the correct head offset press the Next button to proceed.
If you are using a reference film with discontinuities of the KeyKode numbers (such as the
Kodak KeyKode Verification film) you must complete the learning process before you go
across the splice.
7. Press the Finish button to complete the head offset learning for this film type and store the
new head offset in the head offset table. You may now proceed to learn other head offsets
or you may proceed to do the KeyKode accuracy test. Make sure you press the OK button
to save the head offsets. Press the OK button one more time to save the head offsets along
with your telecine setup.

KEYKODE ACCURACY TEST

To verify the accuracy of the system with KeyKode, modify the Engineering Test system configuration
created previously.

automatically fill in appropriate information in most of the other boxes on the configuration screen. For
the KeyKode test we want to update the KeyKode numbers when the Telecine is in Play and Shuttle.
Select the appropriate Film Gauge and Film Rate from the Film Tab. Make sure that the Video Time
Code and KeyKode character windows are visible using the Windows tab. Press the Okay button to
send this information to the 9025TR hardware and save the edited System Configuration. Close the
System Configurations window by clicking on the x in the top right corner.
In order to proceed with the KeyKode Accuracy test use the following procedure:
1. Make note of the key number on a piece of reference film. This number is usually the Key
number of the frame where a reference KeyKode dot is located (i.e. on the whole foot
mark.). Mark this reference frame with a punch or grease pencil. Place this film on the
telecine, with the reference frame in the gate. Select Load Film from the Tools menu, or
press the Load Film button
each time a new piece of film is loaded on to the telecine. See the "Load Film " help item for
more information.)
