Using Your ES-450J
Identifying Your Recorder
As soon as the ES-450J is powered up, the controller continuously asks the
recorder for its Device ID. The ES-450J uses this response to adjust its
behavior to specific recorders.
The ES-450J also uses this Device ID to determine the frame rate of the
recorder. This is used for the Frame+1/Frame-1 function.
The ES-450J currently has specific functionality for the following recorders:
•
Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Studio Series
•
Aja Ki Pro Series
•
Fast Forward Video Recorders
•
VideoDevices PIX Series
•
Datavideo HDR-60/70
•
Sony XDCAM Series
•
Atomos Shogun Studio
If the recorder responds with any other Device ID, the unit controls the
recorder as a generic Sony Betacam (BVW-75) recorder.
Timecode Display
The ES-450J continuously asks the recorder selected for tally for its
position. The ES-450J will display the recorders position in the Timecode
display on the controller.
Nondrop frame timecode is indicated
without a period before the timecode as
shown in the screenshot at right.
Drop frame timecode is indicated with a
period before the timecode as shown in the
screenshot at left.
