What's printed on the film?
The coder will print time code data on the edge of
the film. Part is coded in matrixes, and part is human
eye readable. Matrixes are printed with the red leds
(if available), human readable with the yellow leds (if
available).

Electrical interfaces
2.3.1. Camera wiring
The coder receives the power supply from the camera,
and a frame pulse.
Looking to the lemo 14 female plug
2.3.2. Frame pulse
The coder senses that the camera is shooting when
it will receive 5 pulses giving the same -1%.
Quickly changing speed may be ignored. As soon as
the coder detected that the camera is shooting, it will
print until the camera stops, i.e. no frame pulse during
300 ms.
2.3.3. Time code connections
Looking to the female plug
LTC signal: 1V peak to peak UBE or SMPTE, 24, 25, 30 fps.
ASCII: TTL levels RS232 half duplex.
