Writing Telecine-Style Tape
 
 
 

The Telecine feature allows you to emulate grading with telecine tape. The original source timecodes are written to tape, and each shot is separated by a black sequence of duration equal to Black Length value field.

Before you can use the Telecine feature, you must configure the VTR and the breakout box.

To configure the VTR:

  1. Set the VTR's timecode configuration to:
    • Record run.
    • Preset Timecode Generation.
      NoteThe timecode data is transferred through the RS-422 connection.

To output telecine-style tape:

  1. Enable Telecine prior to starting the playout operation.
