7. Time Code and Meta Data
7.1. Setup
7.1.1. Connecting the Time Code Generator
The camin 8M-TC features a standard SMPTE LTC LEf5p time code connector. Any device
capable of putting out a SMPTE LTC signal can be used as a time code generator for the camin.
These include, but are not limited to, lm and digital cameras, time code slates and similar
devices.
To setup TC sync operation follow these steps:
■Connect the time code generator’s TC cable to the camin 8M-TC’s TC connector.
NOTE: Time code will be kept in sync for at least 6 hours when the
camin remains powered on. When power is lost, the camin will keep TC
sync for at least 90 minutes.
NOTE: The camin 8M-TC currently supports frame rates of 24, 25, 30
fps and 23,976 or 29,97 fps respectively.
7.1.2. Preparing the USB Memory Stick
■Insert the USB stick into the camin’s USB port.
■The USB LED will start flashing. Wait for the USB device to be initialized
and the LED to turn off.
NOTE: USB sticks up to 16GB capacity can be used. When using
larger devices problems may occur. Proper operation cannot be
guaranteed.
NOTE: USB sticks with large directory/le trees will have longer
initialization times. For best results use empty USB sticks reserved for
meta data recording.
