Settings
• Multi-Cam mode The starting timecode value is based on the session
timer on the Control bar (see “Control bar” on page 17).
• Independent mode The starting timecode value is based on the timer in
the respective source window popovers (see “Source window popover” on
page 20).
• VS4Control The starting timecode value is based on the session timer on
the Control bar of the Master.
How Session timecodes work
Embedding a
Session timecode of your own selecting in your video files, where
you set the exact hour, minute, second, and frame your recording timecode will
begin, requires certain conditions:
• The starting timecode cannot be changed while a recording is underway.
• The source window will display the starting timecode (written to the XMP
metadata) only for files that began at the start time of the session.
• The timecode of any file that starts recording later, will be written as the start
timecode plus the offset (the input's staggered start time).
• The number in the frame field cannot be greater than the number of frames
per second, minus 1 of the current frame rate. For frame rates of 50fps and
60fps, the frame field is limited to 49 and 59 respectively.
• If Drop-frame is selected, frame numbers 00 and 01 of the first second of
every minute are not valid, except for when the number of minutes is
divisible by ten.
¦NoteBoth the starting timecode and drop-frame (see “Drop-frame timecode")
settings are saved for the next time the VS4Recorder Pro is used. These settings
can only be used when the VS4Recorder Pro is:
• In Multi-Cam mode or when using VS4Control
• The frame rates of all the selected inputs are the same
• The Session time code is selected
Setting the starting Session timecode
1 Select Session in the Timecode section of the VS4Recorder Pro settings.
2 Enter valid time values in the adjacent field.
3 Start the recording session.
The timecode, as set, increments from the starting value.
System Time
You can choose to embed the current time in the video files by selecting the
System Time option. The system time is taken from the local computer
configuring the VS4Recorder Pro settings.
