frames is captured.
For example, in Internal Timelapse Timer mode, you can choose to record a total amount of 1000 frames, and
take 1 frame every 4.67 seconds. After you’ve recorded 1000 frames (which takes 4,670.00 seconds), the re-
cording process stops.
While recording in this mode, you can see how many frames you’ve recorded out of the total amount of frames
on the overlay.
EXTERNAL FRAME TRIGGER
In this mode, the camera records the specified number of frames for each external trigger.
You can limit each recording to a specific amount of frames using the Limit Recording to setting.
You can also use the Timer/Trigger Settings to set a specific amount of frames to be captured during a pulse
of the trigger. When using the Timer/Trigger Settings, the action Record: External Frame Trigger is used for the
external trigger and may be mapped to any user key or camera input.
While recording in this mode, you can see how many frames you’ve recorded out of the total amount of frames
on the overlay.
NOTE: There may be a delay between receiving the external trigger and capturing the next frame(s). This delay
may be as long 1 frame period at the current sensor frame rate. To achieve completely synchronized frames to
an external trigger you must set Sensor Sync Mode to MoCo. For more information about setting the Sensor Sync
Mode, go to “GPIO/SYNC” on page 79.
SPEED RAMP MODE
NOTE: The Ramp Settings are not accessible on any EPIC DRAGON or SCARLET DRAGON.
This mode lets you program the current sensor frame rate to transition to a target sensor frame rate during
recording.
1. Select Speed Ramp Mode from the Recording Mode drop-down menu.
2. Use the Limit Recording to fields to set the recording to end at a predefined frame limit (optional).
3. Select a ramp target:
‒ Ramp A/B/C/D: Each ramp target is tied to a specific Target/Duration combination.
‒ Reset: Allows you to ramp to the starting frame rate with the specified Duration.
4. Set the Target frame rate.
5. Set the Duration. This is how long it takes the camera to transition from your current frame rate to the target
frame rate.
6. Go to Settings > Setup > Keys and program one of the following keys to start the speed ramp:
‒ Record: Start Speed Ramp A/B/C/D
‒ Record: Start Speed Ramp Reset
7. Start recording.
8. When you are ready to start the speed ramp, press the key that you’ve mapped to start the speed ramp.
The frame rate transitions to your target frame rate during the duration you set up. After you reach your
target frame rate, the camera continues to record at that frame rate until you stop recording.
NOTE: If the camera ramps to a frame rate that it cannot maintain with the exposure setting, the camera changes
the exposure to the longest exposure possible for the frame rate. To maintain consistent exposure throughout
the recording, select an exposure that is valid at all ramp target frame rates.
EXTERNAL RECORD ONLY
This mode allows for external recording only. That is, the recording is NOT saved to the camera’s SSD, and
external recording is blocked if an SSD is mounted to the camera. An external recorder is required and can be
triggered automatically via HD-SDI (if supported by the recorder).
