7.2. Time Code Operation
Time code operation properly set up is not something that requires much thought while shooting.
Please bear the following in mind:
■According to your settings in the METADATA menu on the hand unit your system
will be recording as long as a time code signal is present, whenever the camera
is running or when you start the recording by pressing an assigned button. In any
case, wait a couple of seconds for the recording to be started. Normally, the time
for the camera to run up to speed should be sucient.
■When the recording has started a red symbol will start ashing in the top of the
hand unit display.
■The camin will save a le for every clip to the USB device. The naming convention
for these les is as follows: DxxTxxxx.dat
The two digits following the letter D indicate the recording’s day of the month. The four digits
after the letter T indicate the time in hours and minutes. So a clip recorded on the 14
th
at 13:42
would be named D14T1342.dat.
NOTE: When two clips are started during the same minute, the system
will continue writing to the rst le. Keep that in mind when shooting
very short takes.
Use the supplied le conversion tool for conversion to .cvs les. These les can be read with
most standard spreadsheet editors.
NOTE: Alternatively, the camin 8M-TC’s meta data stream is output
serially via CBUS. This data can be used for motion control and
external recording. For more information on data stream, please
contact the cmotion support team.
