11 – OPERATING THE COMPACT MK2
1. Switch off the camera.
2. Attach the AATONBOX to the camera.
3. Switch on the camera.
If the message
appears on the display of the AATONBOX, no exposu-
re module is built in or it is not functional.
Furthermore, the Time Code compatible LOWER APER-
TURE PLATE has to be installed in the camera.
The AATON input clock (Master Clock ORIGIN C or
C+) is connected to the AATONBOX ("CLOCK IN”
plug). For more info about this master clock see:
http://www.aaton.com/products/accessories/origin/
index.php
When the clock is connected for the first time, the red
LED flashes and
is displayed.
During initialization, which is started by pressing the
[*] switch of the clock, the necessary information such
as year, month, day, hour, minute and second is fed
into the memory of the AATONCODE GENERATOR.
The clock display shows e.g. PRODUCTION number.
Input of a digit (production number) serves to mark the
production.
For the time being, further parameters, such as equip-
ment numbers, can be programmed at the AATON
factory only. If further identification has to be entered in
the system, the ORIGIN Master Clock will offer these
possibilities.
