Battery Life and Indication.
The battery life should last for about 15 hours. A low battery level is indicated when the LED flashes twice at short intervals. When the LED light is solid,
this indicates the battery voltage is too low and will NOT produce timecode.
Show Position
The timecode is shown by flashes of the LED in hours and minutes. Zero is indicated by a short blip. A timecode of 01:00 would be shown by, “
blip --
pause -- 1 flash -- pause -- blip -- pause -- blip -- long pause.”
12:03 would be shown as “
1 flash -- pause -- 2 flashes -- pause -- blip -- pause -- 3
flashes -- long pause”.
It is best to watch this a few times to get used to how it works and you will find it very easy to interpret. DO NOT start the Q28-
BNC in position 7. No timecode will be output and the LED will show
“blip -- pause -- flash continuously”
LED Indications Quick Guide
LED flashes one frame at the beginning of each second
When the Q28-BNC powers ON, it will generate timecode at the selected rate. It will flash one frame at the beginning of each second (frame zero) to
indicate that timecode is being produced. A second camera can shoot this LED to get some indication of sync. This can be done even if it does not have
any timecode connected. Timecode begins at 01:00:00:00 and all user bits are zero.
LED flashes one second ON, one second OFF
When jamming, the LED on the Q28-BNC will blink at a rate of one second ON, one second OFF to show it is jammed.
LED flashes two seconds ON, two seconds OFF
When cross jamming, the LED on the Q28-BNC will blink at a rate of two seconds ON, two seconds OFF to show it is cross jammed.
LED flashes twice at short intervals
A low battery level is indicated when the LED flashes twice at short intervals. Timecode output is still produced at a correct rate while battery low level
indicator is operating. If you are trying to jam while the battery warning is active, the battery warning will cease for approximately one to two minutes
when the jam timecode is locked. This is done so that the jam indication can be seen. After this time the battery warning will reappear.
LED full ON
If the LED is fully ON, this indicates that the battery voltage is too low to produce timecode.
Short Blip Followed by Flash
If the Q28-BNC was started in position 7, no timecode is being output.
