Setting Time Code Time with the CCU-1:
• Depress key “5” to change to the time code menu.
• Depress key “1” – “TIMECODE” is displayed against a
dark background.
• Depress the “ENTER”-key – the camera control unit is
ready for input of the new TC-time.
• Enter a TC-time value within the acceptable range of
00:00:00 to 23:59:59 – the new TC-time is displayed.
Confirm the input by depressing the “ENTER”-key; all
unfilled digits will default to zero.
• Transfer the new TC-time to the camera with the “SEND”-
key.
• Depress the “EXIT”-key to return to the main menu.
Changing Time Code User Bits with the CCU-1:
Normally the date and camera number are entered as
user bits: e.g. 290895C1. This ensures clear identification
of the film stock on productions lasting several days.
However, it is possible to use letters (A to F) and numbers
(0 to 9) as desired.
• Depress key “5” to change to the time code menu.
• Depress key “2” – “USERBITS” is displayed against a
dark background.
• Depress the “ENTER”-key – the camera control unit is
ready for input of the new user bits.
• Enter up to 8 user bits with figures 0-9 or letters A-F
– the new user bits are displayed. Confirm the input by
depressing the “ENTER”-key; all unfilled digits will
default to zero.
• Transfer the new user bits to the camera with the “SEND”-
key.
• Return to the main menu by depressing the “EXIT”-key.
