TIMECODE DETAILS

Timecode provides a mechanism to reference frames from the camera's recorded clips to external devices such as,
other cameras or audio recorders. Some devices can also gather additional data such as, lens metadata, or camera
orientation, which Timecode can later use for merging the data back together in post-processing.

The camera provides two separate Timecode formats:

Time Of Day (TOD)

- The camera records the time of day as the Timecode for each clip

Edgecode

- The camera records elapsed time as the Timecode for each clip. The time is reset to 01:00:00 when a

new media card is inserted in the camera. All of the clips on the media will have a continuous Timecode track.
However, each new media card will default to a Timecode track starting at 01:00:00. You can change the Edgecode
to begin at any desired time by using the Media Format menu (refer to

Edgecode

).

The camera synchronizes (jams) the TOD Timecode to an external Timecode generator (when one is connected to the

Extension Port

) or it jams the Timecode to its internal real-time clock.

The camera stores TOD and Edge Timecode in the R3D file. You can select which one you want to display on the

LCD

Touchscreen

.
