The In-camera Slate System
consists of these components:
Recording Module
The In-camera Slate Recording Module consists of an array of 16 by 36
LEDs and an optical system. The module is installed behind the ARRICAM
film gate below the aperture. The brightness of the LEDs during exposure
is controlled by the ASA setting of the magazine used.
Compatibility: The In-camera Slate Recording Module is identical for
Studio and Lite. It has to be installed by an authorized ARRI Service
Center..
In-camera Slate Box (ISB)
The In-camera Slate Box is the system’s brain on the camera. It controls
the exposure process and sets the proper shutter angle during and after
exposure. It stores all slate information, as well as the timecode provided
by the built-in timecode clock.
To enter and edit timecode, userbits and slate information a Hand Held
PC is used. For timecode and userbits it is also possible to jam-sync to
an external timecode generator.
Compatibility: The In-camera Slate Box fits on both ARRICAM
Studio and ARRICAM Lite. On the ARRICAM Lite, the Lite Lens
Data Box must be present to mount the In-camera Slate Box.
Hand Held Computer
With the Hand Held Computer slate information, timecode and userbits
can be entered into the In-camera Slate Box. This information can be exported
as takelist and transferred to another computer for post production purposes.
The cable KC-H-1 (0.5m/1.5ft) connects the Hand Held Computer to
the CAC connector of the camera.
