In-camera Slate System
The In-camera Slate System can be used just like a timecode slate. The
system accepts SMPTE timecode input. In addition slate information
can be entered via a Hand Held Computer. The In-camera Slate avoids
the disadvantages of conventional slates, such as poorly readable hand
writing, erroneous information, slates outside of the image area, out of
focus slates, underexposed slates and so on.
All information on film is clearly readable in post production and can
be read either in telecine or later by a human.
With the In-camera Slate Reader it is possible to automatically extract
the In-camera Slate information in telecine or later. Automatic audio
synching and logging of timecode and slate data speeds up post production.
