Flash XDR User’s Manual
> An additional 1.5 Watts of power will be consumed while the Flash XDR is in idle
(non-recording) mode when using pre-record buffer. There will be no effect on power
consumption during record.
> It is suggested to turn off Pre-Record Buffer when playing back off the CF cards.
Trigger
Selects the record/ stop trigger source. Note that each trigger is mutually exclusive (i.e. only
one trigger is active at a time). This means that, for example, in timecode trigger mode the
Record and Stop buttons will be disabled – only the behavior of the incoming embedded
timecode will start and stop a record.
• Remote Play – Unit will play (but not record). Formatting is also disabled. Remote tally
also becomes a Play mechanism: start (1 press) / pause (1 press) / stop (double press).
In this mode, Remote tally can also be used for Cue Play (in the main menu). (ver1.5.25)
• Timecode – Recording will start when incrementing time-code is detected from the HD-
SDI input and will stop recording when time-code is not incrementing. This is particularly
useful when wanting to trigger a record session from the camera's record. To use
Timecode Trigger, in addition to this setting System->Trigger->Timecode :
> Set System->Timecode->Source to “Embedded” or “LTC” as appropriate.
> Set the camera's timecode to “Record Run”.
> Most cameras require a tape or solid-state media within the camera to enable
the record function. Also, note that when the media in your camera becomes full,
the time-code will cease to increment and the nanoFlash will stop recording.
> Time-code increment may also take place on some cameras when playing
back from the camera's media, or inserting or ejecting a tape or powering on/off
the camera, causing the recording of very short unexpected clips in these cases.
Use “TC > Last TC”, below, to help minimize unexpected recordings.
• TC > Last TC – Same as Timecode Trigger, above, except that the nanoFlash will only
trigger to record if the incoming timecode is greater than the ending timecode of the last
recorded clip. This helps to minimize unexpected recordings, for example when inserting
or removing media in the camera, or playing back video off of the camera's internal
media. Be aware, however, that if the camera's timecode is re-set to a smaller value, the
nanoFlash may not trigger from the timecode unless the nanoFlash is then turned off and
back on. (ver1.5.55)
• Remote switch – Recording is triggered by a remote control switch. Special note: the
keypad is locked out when recording is triggered by the remote switch; this prevents
accidentally pushing the stop button when the Flash XDR is in a backpack (for example).
Also, the remote switch must be held down approximately 1 second to stop the
recording. (See remote switch pin-out, or a cable can be purchased from Convergent
Design.)
• Remote level / hold – Again via remote control, except that Record is initiated by
pressing and holding Remote Tally, Record is stopped by releasing Remote Tally.
• Record button – Recording is started by pressing the Record Button on the unit, and
stopped by pressing the Stop button.
• Remote & Record button – Remote switch and Record button can be used to start /
stop Record. (ver1.5.55)
