9. Timecode

Using Timecode

Touching the timecode display on the Ronin’s home screen, just below

the four main coloured controls, will take you to the Timecode setup

screen (this is also accessible by touching Menu and then Timecode)

Occupying the lower-centre part of the screen is the timecode display

with controls to set the start-time of the timecode.

The four timecode modes supported are:

• HD-SDI

• Time of Day

• Record Run

• Auto Restart

Cycle through these modes by touching the timecode

Source Selector.

HD-SDI embedded timecode

With this setting, the SDI input will set the timecode (as long as the

source SDI device supports this). The controls to adjust the timecode

value are disabled in this setting because the embedded timecode in the

SDI signal sets the Timecode value of the recording. If you want to adjust

this please, refer to the manual of your SDI input device.

Trigger from HD-SDI time code

If HD-SDI timecode is selected and the camera is in Record Run mode,

the user has the choice to start and stop recording remotely from the

Source Camera HD-SDI timecode.

To enable rolling Timecode Start/Stop functions, simply press the TC

Icon shown here. When enabled, pressing the camera Record Stop/Start

button will make the Ronin start and stop record simultaneously as the

timecode starts and stops.

OFF DISABLED ENABLED

When using the camera in Free Run timecode, the rolling timecode

trigger might not work as expected. However, depending on the

camera, you can trigger record function by the embedded ﬂag/trigger

in the HD-SDI signal. Most higher end cameras have this functionality;

if unsure contact us at [email protected]

Time of Day

With this selected, each new clip that is created will contain embedded

timecode accurately showing the time of day that it was recorded,

based on the internal Ronin Time of Day clock. This can be set in

Menu > Date & Time

If recording is stopped and then restarted while in this mode, there will

be a time gap between the last clip and the next one, equal to the length

of time the Ronin has been out of record. The start timecode of each clip

will be the exact time of day when recording started.

Time of Day timecode is useful as a reminder of the time that clips were

recorded. It can also help with syncing-up of multiple cameras, but remember

that the accuracy of the correlation of Time of Day timecode between

Ronins will depend on how closely their internal clocks are synchronised.

In Time Of Day mode, the controls on the Timecode Setup Scre en for

adjusting the start-point of the Ronin timecode are not available, as

the timecode is set by the Ronin’s internal clock.

Record Run

With this setting you set the start timecode of the ﬁrst clip and the

following clip will start at the frame immediately after the out point of

the preceding clip. This will continue for all clips that follow. This is often

referred to as continuous timecode.

Auto Restart

With this setting, the timecode will be reset to the timecode you deﬁne

here whenever you press record. All your clips will start at this timecode.

To adjust the timecode use the “+” and “-” above and below the

hour:minute:seconds sections
