The trigger position is indicated in the ‘Last’ pull-down
menu or as the ‘T’ slider along the timeline. The trigger
position is the point at which the camera stops continually
recording when a trigger signal is detected.
The first of these key features is the option to enable
the ‘Start / End of recording actions’ to be performed
automatically at the beginning or end of a shot. The most
common ones are:
•
‘Auto save to CineMag / Built-in Flash’ this feature
saves a user-specified portion of a clip to the
Phantom CineMag immediately after recording.
•
‘Auto play Video Out’ begins playback after
recording. The range marked under ‘Auto play
Video Out’ affects both playback and saving to the
Phantom CineMag.
•
‘Restart Recording,’ when enabled, automatically
restarts the recording process after the ‘Auto’
actions have been performed.
Key Advanced Settings
When ‘Restart Recording’ is enabled PCC does
not provide any user confirmation before the
clip is erased from RAM and starts recording
again. This feature should be used with care!
‘External Sync’ instructs the camera to utilize one of the
following three frame sync clock sources:
•
Internal - instructs the camera to utilize its’ internal
crystal oscillator to drive the camera’s frame rate.
•
External - should be selected when an externally
supplied frame sync clock pulse is supplied
to drive the frame rate. This can be used to
synchronize two cameras together via F-Sync.
•
IRIG - should be selected when an IRIG-B signal is
supplied to drive the camera’s frame rate.
•
LockToVideo - Frame rate is driven by the
camera’s current video rate. FPS will jump to
the closest multiple of the current video rate
(23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 or 30).
