Selecting the Encoding Format of the Film Edge Numbers

EDGE STYLE Is used to select whether the edge numbers will be
encoded in the timecode output as packed BCD digits, or in a
compressed binary format (which allows more digits to be
encoded.)
Select GENERIC if you want to use standard BCD encoding
which can be read by most readers. When Generic style is
used, either 4, 5 or 6 digits of feet may be used. Digits that are
not used for footage numbers are utilized for a static prefix
number.
Select EVERTZ if you want to use binary encoding to compress
more data into the available space. When EVERTZ style is
used, either 4, 5, 6 or 7 digits of feet may be used. Digits that
are not used for footage numbers are utilized for a static prefix
number. In addition, three flag bits are encoded into the user
bits which contain the pulldown of the given field. EVERTZ style
encoding requires an Evertz reader such as Afterburner fitted
with special software to read and display the data as decimal
digits.
EDGE FORMAT
footage. This is primarily useful for non-keykoded applications.
EDGE FORMAT determines the maximum footage count
possible before it returns to zero. For example when 4 DIG
FT+FRM is selected, the maximum footage is 9999. When 5
DIG FT+FRM is selected the maximum footage is 99999, etc.
When using the 4025 with KeyKoded stock 4 DIG FT+FRM format should be
used.
When using the data logging output of the 4025, 4 DIG FT+FRM format MUST
be selected. No data packets will be transmitted to the logging computer in
5,6 or 7 digit formats.
