Timecode
PIX-E monitors store timecode metadata
within QuickTime les.
The timecode value that is stored is
derived from the monitor’s internal
time-of-day clock, from its internal
record run generator, or—for PIX-E5
only—from the external SDI video input.
i Because the monitor does not include
an internal, jammable, free-running
generator, it is recommended that the
camera utilizes a suitable timecode
generator for applications requiring a
high level of accuracy.
Setting a Timecode Mode
For the PIX-E5H, there are two timecode modes to choose: Time of Day and
Record Run. The PIX-E5 offers those two modes plus a third option, external
timecode via SDI.
To select a timecode mode:
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Select Timecode > Timecode Mode.
3. Select a timecode mode. Time of Day is the default mode.
option Description
Ext TC (SDI) Many cameras are capable of sending timecode along with video signal
via SDI. When using external SDI timecode, any user bits present will be
stamped to recorded les. This timecode can be used to trigger the mon-
itor to begin recording. For more information, see Setting up a Record
Trigger.
The PIX-E5’s SDI output does not include timecode.
Time of Day Time of Day timecode mode uses the monitor’s internal system clock.
When using Time of Day timecode mode, ensure that the system clock is
set properly. For more information, see Setting the Date and Time.
