INSTALLING THE RESEARCH IN MOTION KEYKODE READER ON YOUR TELECINE
KEYKODE READER INSTALLATION
8.5.1. Mounting the Reader Head
Follow the directions received with the Cinema Products unit. The installation
instructions are contained in section 2 of the Cinema Products manual.
8.5.2. Connecting the Reader Head to the Cinema Products
Electronics Unit
Refer to section 2.1 of the Cinema Products manual for information on connecting
the reader head to the electronics unit.
8.5.3. Connecting the Electronics Unit to the 4025 Film Footage
Encoder
A 9 pin D connector on the rear of the Cinema Products electronics unit provides
RS-232 serial data communications with the 4025. Wiring information for the
Cinema Products to 4025 cable is as shown in 7.2.1. Maximum suggested length
of this cable is 50 feet, although longer cables may be used if the wire size is
made larger. Care should be taken to ensure that shielded cable is used, and that
the shield is connected through.
8.5.4. Setting the Correct Operating Modes
Consult the Cinema Products operating manual section 2.1 and 2.2 for information
on determining the operating mode of the CP reader. If necessary, remove the top
cover from the unit and select KeyKode Direct mode.
The Cinema Products unit must be set to KEYKODE DIRECT mode for proper
operation with the 4025.
Connecting the bi-phase input of the Cinema Products unit is not required when
operating in KeyKode direct mode. Setting the mechanical offset switches in the
Cinema Products units is only required if bi-phase connections are hooked up.
A toggle switch on the front panel enables and disables the beep which indicates
when a barcode has been successfully read. Enabling the beep is helpful when
checking out the installation, but may be annoying during normal day to day
operation.
Consult the Cinema Products manual for information about the use of other toggle
switches on the unit.
8.6.1. Mounting the Reader Head
Follow the directions received with the Research in Motion DigiSync unit. The
reader head and mounting bracket are separate and will have to be assembled
before mounting on the telecine. The installation instructions are contained on
