8.4.1 Using the OriginCplus - Recommended Method
• Program the OriginCplus by inputting Prod ID, accurate date and
time of day. Press the # key to scroll through each field; after all
fields are set as desired, press * to start the clock.
• Make sure the camera has a battery attached.
• Plug the Lemo5 cable of the OriginCplus into the Lemo5 chassis
mount on the base of the camera.
• Press * on the OriginCplus to send the timecode information. The
OriginCplus will display Good OO.O after the timecode has been
accepted in the camera. The control panel of the AATON 35-III
will display hours/minutes/seconds when the button marked Time is
pressed. Toggling this button will also display year/month/day, then
the production ID, then the equipment #.
• Make sure to adjust the ASA selection to the exposure index of the
film stock being used.
• Disconnect the OriginCplus from the body and proceed to the
next device.
8.4.2 Using an External SMPTE Device
• Make sure the AATON 35-III has a battery attached and is not
running.
• Choose the SMPTE timecode device that will be supplying the
timecode (such as a Fostex PD2 or a Nagra IVS-TC). Set the time
of day and date, and set its clock to free run mode.
• Connect a cable from the SMPTE output of the timecode device
to the Lemo5 chassis mount on the base of the camera.
• Set the on/off switch on the camera to run or test position, then
off again; this will send the timecode information to the camera
body. The AATON 35-III will display hours/minutes/seconds when
the button marked Time is pressed. Toggling this button will also
display year/month/day and the equipment #. No production ID
will be recorded.
• Disconnect the cable from the body and proceed to the next devi-
ce.
