2.3.5 Notes on selecting digits
Userbit Field
The userbits have 8 digits all of which can be set to numerals 0 to 9 and
various letters. Generally there is no restriction to what one selects but
userbits have been traditionally used to indicate the date and/or production
number, camera number etc.
In addition timecode film cameras expect to find the date in a particular
configuration and may reject a timecode if the date is not written correctly. A
specific configuration is necessary so that a number is recognised for what it
is, for example 'day of the month'. Obviously if the year was entered into this
slot the reader would reject a day of the month with a value of 96 (the year).
We recommend the following formats for the order of the digits as seen in the
display.
D=Day. M=Month. Y=Year. X=Prod Number. U=Unit (Camera). R= Roll Nr.
2.3.6 The Aaton configuration
DD MM YY XX
When working with an Aaton or Aaton system cameras, or setting the Internal
RTC this format must be used
2.3.7 The AMPS configuration
DD MM UR RR
Use this format when more identification numbers are required.
2.3.8 The Time Field
The time field has the following fixed configuration:
H= Hours M= Minutes S= Seconds F= Frames
HH MM SS FF
When the display is running the frame field is changing at the framerate. In
the set mode the FF position can contain the following digits and letters
which indicate the framerate selected by the Dipswitches or modes for setting
the RTC.
