When the slate is closed the userbits of the Ext TC are displayed.

This function is like the generator mode only the timecode is coming from an

external source.

Note. The dip switches 1,2 & 3 should be set to OFF, OFF and ON giving a

meaningless setup of 25 fps Dropframe. This setting only has meaning in the

reader mode where the reader will then read forwards, backwards and up to

several times normal speed.

New Features

4 . 1

„JAMES BOND" feature

Due to a request from Chris Munro the sound recordist on „Tomorrow Never Dies"

we implemented the following feature.When the slate is closed the frame freezes

as usual but glows at maximum brightness till the userbits show. The result

is that an additional optical signal is given to indicate clapstick closed, which is

sync with the sound of the slate and can be used for syncing up rushes. If the

clapsticks cannot be seen easily the flash will help find the sync point. This

feature can be turned off by removing the back lid and sliding the

red switch at the top of the printed circuit board to the left. To the

right is on.

Although the flash will render the timecode on the display unreadable at the

moment of closure the timecode will be displayed at selected brightness up to this

time, allowing the timecode value to be read until the slate closes.

The slate can be used to show the camera the userbits before rolling over. This is

done by pressing the RED button under the clapstick. This will become useful in

the near future to display the Event number which is a unique number for each

audio recording in the userbits. This number can be slated to the camera in

advance thus showing the event number on film like the take number written on

the slate.

4.3

The CLOCKIT Radio Slate is a combination of a small UHF telemetry transmitter

the unit more compact than external receivers and easier to use. The range can

be up to 200 meters but in difficult conditions it is typically 50 meters.

4.3.1 Transmitter

The transmitter is built into a milled aluminium case which is very strong. A

sliding lid exposes the battery compartment. The battery can be removed

by levering out or shaking. The on/off switch and the antenna socket is on

the other end.The longer the led stays on after switching on the

unit, the lower the battery voltage. The led stays permanently on

when the battery has reached 5 volts. The battery should then be

changed, but the unit may still work.
