Device Control (RS-422) Settings
Device Control Options are settings for the RS-422 machine control interface on the KONA. The
timecode format is used for both monitoring the RP-188 timecode embedded in the digital data
stream and for selecting a timecode offset (if required) for the attached VTR (connected to the
KONA RS-422 port).
Timecode Format Use this pull-down to select the timecode base supported by your VTR.
• Base 24
• Base 25
• Base 25 (50 frames per second)
• Base 30 DF (drop-frame, 30 frames per second)
• Base 30 NDF (non-drop-frame, 30 frames per second)
• Base 30 DF (drop-frame, 60 frames per second)
• Base 30 NDF (non-drop-frame, 60 frames per second)
Timecode Source Choose between a separate-channel Longitudinal Timecode (LTC) or
Vertical Interval Timecode (VITC) transported in the video signal’s vertical interval or include
both (LTC + VITC).
Click on the Hot-text items to enter a value for:
• Preroll – 0 to 15; the number of frames required to start the source machine before capture
• Handles – 0 to 60; the number of frames added to the front and back of a sequence for
editing flexibility
• Timecode Offset – -30 to +30; timecode adjustment (in frames) forward or back to
compensate for discrepancies between the source’s burned-in timecode and the captured
sequence.
