Remote User Interface; Voltage Ranges - Codex Arriraw Getting Started Manual

Quality is always 1:1 (uncompressed) for ARRIRAW recording.
Input has two options: Default – this should be used for ARRIRAW recording.
Output – The 4:2:2 setting should be used in most cases. The ARRIRAW Recorder provides a debayered output at half resolution as a 'gate check'. For two camera recording, in live mode there
is a 4:2:2 output for each camera. For playback, Output 1 switches between showing the first camera and the second camera each time Stop is pressed during playback.
GPI – It is possible to start/stop the recorder using the Alexa's RUN button (formatted SxS media must be inserted in the camera to use this feature). Set Record Trigger to SDI if you wish to
synchronise with SxS recording, to GPI if you wish to use a custom electrical trigger (e.g. Preston control), or None if you intend to use the RECORD/STOP buttons on the recorder to start/stop
recording.
LUTS
The ARRIRAW Recorder can apply 1D LUTs in ASSIMILATE SCRATCH format to the video outputs for monitoring and playback. To load a LUT, connect via the network port to the /codexsettings
samba share with user=codex, password=codex. Place any LUT files you want to use in the /luts directory. From the Control Panel select Options when in live or play mode and from this
sub-menu select LUT. You can enable/disable any LUT on the system from here.

REMOTE USER INTERFACE

There are several reasons why the ARRIRAW Recorder may need to be controlled from a remote User Interface (UI), running on a networked computer. For instance, setup and operation for
independent Dual Camera recording must be done from a remote UI. If the recorder is on a crane with the camera then this may be a preferable way to operate it. The remote UI software is
available for both Windows and Mac, and can be downloaded from www.codexdigital.com/software. Once it is installed, ensure the IP address of the recorder and the remote computer are in the
same range, i.e. if the recorder IP is 192.168.1.110 and the subnet is 255.255.255.0 then the remote computer should have an IP which begins 192.168.1. and the last number of it's IP should
be any number between 1 and 254, except for 110. The remote computer should also have a subnet of 255.255.255.0. Use the SYSTEM menu within SETUP on the recorder to change
network settings. With correct network settings and an ethernet cable attaching the recorder to the remote computer, run the Codex software package and enter the recorder IP address in the
box which appears. Initially you will not be 'IN CONTROL', which means you can edit shot metadata but not control the functions of the recorder. Go to the SETUP tab, then the CONTROL
screen, and you can press 'TAKE CONTROL' in order to control all settings and functions of the recorder.

VOLTAGE RANGES

Recorder will not
operate below 10V
CODEX ARRIRAW RECORDER GETTING STARTED GUIDE VERSION 1.0
Audio – Depending on the Input setting, the ARRIRAW
Recorder can record between 2 and 8 channels of
audio. Select the appropriate input type and bit-depth.
If using AES audio and the signal is not frequency
locked to the video then set AES SRC option to On.
No audio is recorded when Variframe is On.
Lower voltage range 12-19.5V

Timecode – Select the appropriate timecode
setting. If using HD VANC timecode from ARRI Alexa
then Fix TC Breaks should be set to No. This is
critical for correct timecode handling when shooting
in Variframe mode.
