INSTALLATION
Model 4025 Film Footage Encoder Manual
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
2. Place this film on the telecine, with the reference frame in the
gate.
3. Using the Format menu set the 4025 to the following settings:
•
GEN MODE to CINE EDGE (See section 3.3.1)
•
DROP FRAME to NON DROP FRAME (See section 3.3.3)
•
KK JAM to NEVER (See section 3.4.1)
•
FILM TYPE to Match the film stock you have placed on the
telecine (See section 3.4.3)
•
FILM RATE to match your telecine transfer rate (See
section 3.4.4)
4. Turn on the 4025's character windows for Generator time and
Edge code ( KeyKode) as described in section 3.12.1
5. Enter the key number of the reference frame into the KKode
register as described in section 3.10.2
6. Set the time of the VITC generator to 01:00:00:00 as described
in section 3.9.3.
7. Back up the telecine and transfer a short piece of film (which
includes the reference frame) to video tape. When the telecine
achieves locked PLAY speed, the telecine FRAME and LOCK
LEDs on the 4025 front panel should be on and there should be
a '+' between the footage and frames in the character
generator.
Press the HELP key if the FRAME and LOCK
indicators are not on. (See Chapter 5 for a full discussion of the
various HELP messages and their probable causes)
8. Play back the video tape in slow shuttle or jog mode, and verify
that the timecode and edge code numbers that you entered for
the reference frame are correct. If they are correct you can
proceed to install the KeyKode reader system. (See section
2.12.)
If the Edge numbers are not correct, or do not match the picture
pulldown, check to see that you have properly compensated for
any delays in the video path from your telecine to the 4025.
(See section 3.5.5)
If the timecode numbers are not correct, check that you have
set the correct FILM RATE setting (See section 3.4.4)
