ARRI ALEXA Mini LF Ready to Shoot V-Mount Set (LPL) - Manual (Page 58)

Main Parameters 58
Regen Depending on the timecode run mode, regen behaves differently:
Run mode rec run: The camera determines the timecode of the last frame of
the last recorded clip and increments it by one for the next clip. This ensures
consecutive timecodes for a sequence of clips.
Run mode free run: The timecode source should be connected to the camera
permanently. The camera continuously reads the timecode signal at the time-
code connector as long as it is present. Upon disconnection or loss of signal,
the camera continues counting on its own, but will indicate the missing signal
through an orange exclamation mark on the TC button on the home screen.
When the external signal is reconnected, the camera uses the value of the ex-
ternal signal again. Regen mode will disable manual editing of the timecode.
Preset The camera uses its internal counter.
Jam Sync The camera samples the timecode value and simultaneously tunes its inter-
nal timecode clock to match the clock of the timecode source. During this pro-
cedure, the timecode display on the home screen, on the timecode menu
screen as well as on the status overlays is flashing. Jamming has finished
when the timecode display stops flashing, then the timecode source can be
disconnected. The camera continues counting based on its own high pre-
cision crystal clock now. This mode ensures stable timecode with a drift of
less than one frame over eight hours, after which the camera has to be re-
jammed.
Note: Due to the tuning mechanism, jamming the camera might take up to 30
seconds and a timeout is issued if tuning could not be completed after 60 sec-
onds.
Regen Source
Based on the timecode run mode, the camera determines the timecode regen (regenerate) source
automatically. If the run mode is set to Free run , it regenerates timecode from the timecode input
connector. If set to Rec run , it regenerates timecode from the last clip of the recording media by
continuing seamlessly from the last active value.
► View
HOME > TC > Options > Regen Source .
The regen source is displayed. The following settings are possible:
LTC In timecode is continuously read from the TC connector.
Media timecode from the last clip of the active recording card by continuing seam-
lessly from the last active value.
EXT when camera is set to EXT sensor slave or EXT settings slave)
Timecode Offset
You can apply an offset to LTC input signals to compensate for timecode offsets in external devices.
1. Select
HOME > TC > Options > TC Offset .
2. Adjust the timecode offset in the range of -20 to +20 frames.
NOTICE
The camera's internal battery will keep the timecode and timecode tuning values for about 10
minutes after the power source was disconnected.
