Model 4025TR Film Footage Encoder Manual
During 30 frame per second transfers in NTSC, and 25 frame per second
transfers in PAL, the pulldown indicator is blanked. The pulldown indicator
is also blanked in 24 frame per second transfers when the telecine is not in
normal run speed.
In 30 frame per second NTSC transfers or 25 frame per second PAL
transfers the field dominance of the transfers will affect the film frame
numbering. In field 1 dominant transfers, where the film frame changes at
the beginning of the video frame, the timecode and film numbers should
both update together in field 1 of the video. In field 2 dominant transfers,
where the film frame changes at the beginning of video field 2, the
timecode numbers will change in field 1 of the video, and the film numbers
will change in field 2.

3.12.7 VCG Film Sequence Lock Indicator

When film edge codes are displayed, a plus sign (+) is used between the
feet and frame numbers to indicate when the telecine has achieved a
stable play speed and the 4025TR has properly locked onto the transfer
sequence.

3.12.8 Counting Sequence Error Indicator

When the Engineering DIP switch is ON, an asterisk (*) is used between
the seconds and frames digits to indicate when the timecode burn-in does
not follow the expected sequence of numbers. An asterisk is used
between the footage and frames digits of the film edge number display to
indicate then the film frame burn-ins do not follow the expected sequence.
3.12.9 Remote control of Character Generator Windows and Status
Screen
Some of the common character generator functions cannot be operated
with a GPI trigger or remote switch connected to the Serial I/O connector of
the 4025TR. These inputs are internally pulled to +5 volts and may be
grounded to pin 6. The Toolbox software PARAMETERS VCG GPI menu
item allows you to select from one of several methods of VCG remote
control. See section 3.7.8 for information on how to configure the VCG
remote control inputs.
The chart below summarizes the operation of the VCG remote control
inputs. An X on the chart indicates that this action is ignored.
