OPTIONAL SOFTWARE
4.1.1. Hardware Requirements
The following software versions are required:
631:
615:
611:
The following jumpers must be configured specially:
611 J5 must be set to the Ext. Sync position (to the right) in
order to transfer the Sync from the ARRI timecode to the 615
board.
4.1.2. Connecting the ARRI Film Ident System.
Follow the directions in the 4025 manual for connecting the KeyKode
reader portion of the Film Ident system. These are contained in section
8.4.2 of Chapter 8.
Connect the timecode output from the Film Ident System to the LTC input
of the 4025. The Film Ident system timecode output is unbalanced, and
should be connected to pin 2 of the LTC input on the 4025.
READER ASSIGNMENT to RDR1: LTC RDR2: VITC using the READER
ASSIGN menu item of the On screen program menu. When valid code is
coming in to RDR1, the RDR1 code LED will be on. If you remove the front
panel of the 4025, there are two additional indicators which will help
determine the presence of ARRI code. The left LED on the 611 board will
be ON when code is coming in and is being properly decoded by the LTC
reader. The left LED on the 615 board will be flickering when the ARRI
code is being processed by the 615.
The incoming code is assumed to be at the same speed as the film transfer
rate setting of the 4025. This means for films transferred at 25 frames per
second, that the timecode frames will be numbered from 0 to 24, etc. (i.e. film
was shot at 25 FPS)
4.1.3. Generator modes
Two new modes of the generator have been added. They are ARRI EDGE
and ARRI RDR2 + KEYKODE, and are accessed using the GEN ASSIGN
menu of the Format menu.
In the ARRI EDGE mode, the timecode from the Film Ident system is
placed in the generator time bits and the truncated Keykode numbers are
placed into the user bits of the LTC and primary VITC. Secondary VITC is
