    11. Video-Assist-System The video-assist-system delivers a high-quality, nearly flickerfree monitor image for PAL or NTSC. The video-assist-system consists of the video set, the 1/2" color video camera CCD 2-FR and the anti-flicker pro- cessor AFP-2. The video set consists of the video carrying handle and the video optic together.

  • Page 82: Time Code

    12. Time Code In modern electronic post-production time code is often used today. Quartz-synchronized film, sound and video recordings have been made possible through the use of equipment with TC-capability. The ARRIFLEX 16SR 3 is equipped with a TC generator which produces 80bit time code corresponding to SMPTE RP136, Format Type C.
  • Page 83 The TC-Symbol has the following meaning: TC-Symbol off TC-recording is turned off. TC-recording is turned off, the magazine is not TC-capable or TC-sensitivity 0 is set. TC-Symbol blinks Since the last setting of time code or since the last synchronisation more than 8 hours have passed.

  • Page 84: Tc-Input

    TC-Input The TC generator integrated in the ARRIFLEX 16SR 3 can be synchronized onto other equipment with TC generator. An LTC signal (Longitudinal Time Code) from any TC generator is plugged into the ACC socket. The signal level must be higher than 500 mV automatically takes on TC time and TC user bits.

  • Page 85: Time Code And Esu-1

    Time Code and ESU-1 Also when using the external synchronization unit ESU-1 for synchronizing the camera to other equipment, time code can be recorded. Before attaching the external synchronization unit the TC generator the frame rate must be set to the expected frame rate. The maximum difference between the external synchronization and the TC frame rate is 1%.

  • Page 88: Tc Buffer

    TC Buffer The ARRIFLEX 16SR 3 ensures not only high accuracy of the time code but also allows the TC clock to continue running while the camera is switched off as long as the camera is connected to a power supply. The TC genera- tor needs a power supply of 10mA if the camera is switched off.
