Chapter 4, Using the VS4Recorder Pro Application
To set the embedded timecode option, under Timecode, select one of the
following:
• SDI Embedded The starting timecode value for the recorded video file is
based on the timecode present in the SDI video signal.
• Session The starting timecode can be set to a valid value.
• System Time The timecode is taken from the local computer configuring
the VS4Recorder Pro settings.
Using a timecode from an SDI embedded video signal
If you choose to embed the timecode that is present in the SDI source, select the
SDI embedded option button in the Timecode section of the VS4Recorder Pro
Settings dialog. SDI embedded timecode use differs depending on the recording
configuration:
• Multi-Cam mode There must be a signal coming in from a source
connected to Input 1 when you start the recording session.
$ If another input is recording at a different frame rate than Input 1, then the
timecode on that input’s captured file(s) will be that of its own embedded
timecode, different from the other inputs. If that input does not have an
embedded timecode, then the Session timecode will be written to the
video file(s) instead.
$ If an input starts capturing only after the recording session has begun, it is
the SDI timecode from the start of the recording session that is written to
the video, plus the offset (the input's staggered start time).
• Independent mode:
$ The SDI embedded timecode of each individual input will be used.
$ If no SDI timecode is present, the recording Session timecode will be
written instead.
• VS4Control The same applies as it does in Multi-Cam mode. The
timecode is taken from Input 1 of the Master machine.
¡ Important Ensure that all cameras (sources) are genlocked to the same source
(Input 1) and that it is a valid source. Without it, frame-accuracy cannot be
achieved.
Session timecode
You can tailor your session timecode to your needs with the
Session option,
starting the timecode at a value of your choosing. If you choose to embed the
Session timecode in your recorded video files, note the following:
