OPERATION
1.
Record VITC from the 4025 onto all your transfer tapes, even if
the client does not specify them specifically.
2
When recording timecode from the 4025, the timecode
generator in your VTR should either be turned off, or set to an
'external direct' mode. In this mode, the VTR's generator does
not attempt to read the incoming code, but merely passes the
4025's code through the signal amplifiers without intervention.
3.
When making window burn-ins of the 4025 data, use the 4025
Character inserter, which accurately compensates for the film
pulldown. Separate video paths are provided for the 4025 VITC
and Character generators, so you can make one tape without
burn-ins, and a simultaneous tape with a burn-in.
4.
The Afterburner reader can be used to make a frame accurate
window dub from a previously transferred tape. In order for the
Afterburner to recover the 'Key Info' part of the keykode
number, make sure that the 4025's VITC generator is on and
use one of the 4025's + KEYKODE modes.

3.9.3
How to Set the Generator Time
When entering time data make sure that the generator is not in one of the
JAM modes (indicated when the JAM LED is on). If it is use the format
menu as described above to select one of the RUN or CINE time modes.
Press the L-GEN or V-GEN keys to display the LTC or VITC generator
time respectively. (Currently the LTC and VITC generators are the same.)
Press the TIME / UB key to display the generator time if it is not already
displayed. The ENTER and CLR keys are used in conjunction with the
numeric keys to set the generator time.
The telecine must be stopped before you attempt to set the generator time.
Press the ENTER key to recall the last time that you entered into the
generator. The display prompt at the left of the display will blink while data
