3.3.10. Resetting the 5550 to Factory Defaults

factory reset is used to return the 5550 to its factory defaults. When you
press the " key, the display shows shift+>to reset. When

and show the message Reset done

3.3.11. Testing the Serial Communications to the 4025

log pos'n >y If the right arrow is pressed, corresponding to the "yes"
option, the 5550 will transmit the current keykode number out
the serial port at regular intervals. This can be used to verify the
communications with the 4025 Film Footage Encoder.
5550 will flash the COMM LED and the front panel message will
be sending data. If the 5550 is correctly connected to an
Evertz 4025TR Film Footage Encoder, there will be a
corresponding flash of the KKODE LED on the 4025TR front
panel.
connection should result in the reception of an ASCII string
(example: "j0296123456123400") followed by a carriage return
and line feed characters.
If the TC MODE is set to ARRI or Matrix, the 5550 will also
output the last valid time code value that it read. If the LTC out
of the 5550 is correctly connected to an Evertz 4025TR Film
Footage Encoder, the LRDR1 LED on the 4025TR front panel
should come on.
Press the # or$ keys or exit the Engineering menu to stop the
5550 sending the data.
During normal operation of the Film Data Decoder head it is possible for
dust to build up in the opening to the sensor, blocking the light path, and
thereby impairing the reading ability of the head. The KK Sensor and TC
Sensor extended displays are provided as a means of verifying the
operation of the sensors.
You cannot perform the sensor operation on the EV model heads
There are separate sensor displays for the KeyKode and time code
sensors. To
SHIFT+DISPLAY keys several times until you get a display that looks like:
KK35 SENSOR= 200. To access the Time code sensor display, press the
SHIFT+DISPLAY keys one more time until you get a display that looks like:
