Input
has two options:
Default – use for 1.5GHz digital video signal 3G – use for 3GHz digital video signal
Output
option has four settings:
Default – no conversion is done for output 4:2:2 – all material is output as 4:2:2 digital video signal 3G – dual link material is output as 3GHz digital video signal
Duplicated – provides duplicated 4:2:2 outputs of a single camera input
LUTS
The Onboard can apply 1D LUTs in ASSIMILATE SCRATCH format to the video outputs for monitoring and playback. To load a LUT refer to the ‘Getting Logs and Loading LUTs Guide’.
From the Control Panel select Options when in live or play mode and from this sub-menu select LUT. You can enable/disable any LUT on the system from here.
REMOTE USER INTERFACE
It is possible to control the Onboard M from a remote User Interface (UI), running on a networked computer. The remote UI software is available for both Windows and Mac, and can be
downloaded from www.codexdigital.com/software. Once it is installed, ensure the IP address of the Onboard and the remote computer are in the same range, i.e. if the Onboard IP is
192.168.1.110 and the subnet is 255.255.255.0 then the remote computer should have an IP which begins 192.168.1. and the last number of it’s IP should be any number between 1 and 254,
except for 110. The remote computer should also have a subnet of 255.255.255.0. Use the
SYSTEM
menu within SETUP on the Onboard to check/change network settings. With correct
network settings and an ethernet cable attaching the Onboard to the remote computer, run the Codex software package and enter the Onboard IP address in the Connect to Server box.
Initially you will not be
‘IN CONTROL’,
which means you can edit shot metadata but not control the functions of the Onboard S. Go to the SETUP tab, then the
CONTROL
screen, and you can
press
‘TAKE CONTROL’
in order to control all settings and functions of the Onboard.
VOLTAGE RANGES
Timecode
– Select the appropriate timecode setting.
HD VANC
takes timecode embedded from the video
stream – in this case
Fix TC Breaks
should be set to
No - this is especially critical for correct timecode
handling when shooting in Variframe mode from the
Alexa.
LTC
takes timecode from the external
connector.
TCG
uses the internal clock.
Audio
– Depending on the Input setting, the
Onboard M can record between 2 and 8 channels of
audio. Select the appropriate input type and bit-depth.
If using AES audio and the signal is not frequency
locked to the video then set
AES SRC
option to On.
No audio is recorded in Variframe mode.
