User Manual

*Subject to change without notice Atomos Ninja Inferno – User Manual Edition 1: May 2017 36
Using Timecode
Touching the Timecode display on the home screen, just above the three
main controls (Rec, Play, Menu), will take you to the Timecode setup
screen (this is also accessible by touching Menu and then Timecode)
Occupying the lower-centre part of the screen is the timecode display
with controls to set the start-time of the timecode.
The Timecode modes supported are:
• HDMI (Embedded)
• Record Run
• Time of Day
• Auto Restart
Cycle through these modes by touching the Timecode Source Selector.
HDMI embedded Timecode
With this setting, the HDMI input will use the Timecode embedded in the
input signal. The controls to adjust the Timecode value are disabled in
this menu as you will need to adjust these on the camera. Note that not all
HDMI sources embed Timecode.
Trigger from HDMI time code
If HDMI timecode is selected and the camera is in REC RUN mode, the
user has the choice to start and stop recording remotely from the source
camera timecode.
To enable rolling Timecode Start/Stop functions, simply press the TC icon
shown here. When enabled, pressing the camera Record Stop/Start
button will make the Ninja Inferno start and stop record simultaneously as
the timecode starts and stops.
When using the camera in Free Run timecode, the rolling timecode
trigger might not work as expected.
Time of Day
With this setting, each new clip that is created will contain embedded
Timecode starting with the time of day when the recording is started.
Please check that Ninja Inferno clock has been set correctly.
This can be set in Menu > Date & Time
If recording is stopped and then restarted while in this mode, there
will be a time gap between the last clip and the next one, equal to the
length of time the Ninja Inferno has been out of record.
In Time of Day mode, the controls on the Timecode Setup Screen
for adjusting the start-point of the Ninja Inferno Timecode are not
available, as the Timecode is set by the Ninja Inferno’s internal clock.
