2.2 Generator RTC Mode OFF

This mode has the same function as the generator-only mode with the
difference that on power-up of the master slate the RTC time and date is
loaded into the Generator.

In many film situations there is a requirement for 2 time codes to be
displayed. In the classical situation a playback with time code is being played
in a scene where at the same time sound is being recorded.
The master slate when opened, displays the Playback time code (ext TC)
connected by cable or transmitted by radio, thus facilitating syncing playback
to picture. When the slate is closed the generator time is displayed thus
giving a time code value corresponding to the time on the recorded tape.
Note. When switch 7 is ON the playback time value at the moment of closure of the
slate is displayed for 2 minutes after the userbits. This value can be logged by the
Continuity/Script person.
Feature: With DIP-switch 12 ON the TC out signal (pin 5 LEMO) contains
the generator time and the reader time in the generator userbit slot.
This TC could be transmitted for logging purposes.

Reader Mode OFF
ON
4 5
In this mode the slate is a reader only and can be used in conjunction with a
radio link or cable to display Playback time code in a videoclip or multicamera
shooting situation.
When the slate is opened the time code is displayed.
When the slate is closed the userbits of the Ext TC are displayed.
This function is like the generator mode only the time code is coming from an
external source.
Note. The DIP- switches 1,2 & 3 should be set to OFF, OFF and ON giving a
meaningless setup of 25 fps Dropframe. This setting only has meaning in the reader
mode where the reader will then read forwards, backwards and up to several times
normal speed.
