------------------------------------------------------------
The Evertz model 5500 KeyKode Reader has a number of Engineering controls which are accessed by
pressing SHIFT+SETUP. The following gives a brief description of the engineering controls which are
currently available.
1.
log pos'n n< >y
If the right arrow is pressed, corresponding to the "yes" option, the 5500 will transmit the current
keykode number out the serial port. This can be used to verify the communications. The 5500
will flash the "comm" light. If the 5500 is correctly connected to an Evertz model 4015 or 4025
Film footage encoder, there will be a corresponding flash of the keykode light on the 4015 or
4025. If the 5500 is connected to a computer, a correct connection should result in the reception
of an ASCII string (example: "j0296123456123400") followed by a carriage return and linefeed
characters.
2.
edge hunt on
This item controls how the automatic intensity system will operate. It is described in more detail
in Evertz Technical Bulletin B_INTENS.DOC.
3.
tach hunt on
This item controls how the automatic intensity system will operate. It is described in more detail
in Evertz Technical Bulletin B_INTENS.DOC.
4.
extended auto on
This item controls how the automatic intensity system will operate. It is described in more detail
in Evertz Technical Bulletin B_INTENS.DOC.
5.
biph: 10 p/frm
The left and right arrows select which biphase frame rate (in cycles per frame) will be used for the
biphase inputs. See section 2.3.2 of the 5500 manual regarding the biphase inputs.
6.
baud: 9600 bps
This item controls the baud rate at which the 5500 communicates through the serial port. Most
connecting devices (such as the Evertz 4015 and 4025) expect a 9600 baud rate. The 5500 is
preset to 7 bits, even parity, regardless of the baud rate. The 38400 baud rate may be used
when loading new software from a computer into the 5500. This will result in a faster software
update.
