ON BOAR D S R ECOR DE R SETTING THE STANDARD FOR FILE-BASED WORKFLOWS, THE CODEX ONBOARD S RECORDER CAN CAPTURE UNCOMPRESSED HD OR WAVELET ENCODED HD – PLUS AUDIO AND METADATA – ONTO A REMOVABLE SOLID STATE CAPTURE DRIVE. THE ONBOARD S IS IDEAL FOR SMALLER HD-SDI CAMERAS LIKE THE SONY PMW-F3 AND THE CANON EOS C300. WHEN SHOOTING IS DONE, A CODEX MEDIA STATION OR VAULT CAN BE USED TO OFFLOAD MATERIAL MUCH FASTER THAN REAL-TIME. GETTING STARTED This guide provides an overview of the Onboard S Recorder.
THE ONBOARD S CONTROL PANEL AND MENU SYSTEM There are a few global rules about how the Control Panel operates, which will be dealt with before menu specifics: MONITOR/RECORD JOG WHEEL (TURN) STOP/SELECT (PRESS) MAIN MENU 1) MULTI-FUNCTION BUTTONS HOLD SWITCH You are only ever two button presses from recording: if you are anywhere in the menu system then one press of the Monitor/Rec button will engage Monitor mode, and a second press will begin a recording.
4) This image also shows another global function – from any screen the Main Menu button can be pressed which brings up the Monitor | Play | Setup | Storage | options on the Multi-Function buttons. This can be used at any time to navigate to these screens. 5) From within the menus the left Multi-Function button can be used to go Back a level or to Monitor mode. 6) The Jog Wheel can be turned to navigate through lists in the menu.
Play Going to the Play screen will load the last recorded shot. Use the > button to play the shot forwards, and the < button to play the shot backwards. The Jog Wheel can be used to jog through the shot. To load another shot press the Shots button, which will bring up the Shot List. Shot List Use this screen to Select a different shot for playback, open the Filecard of a recorded shot to view/edit metadata, view Format information, or delete recorded shots. Deleting shots is a non-reversible operation.
Input is set automatically based on the format and frame rate selected: 4:2:2 – for use with 1.
ERROR/WARNING MESSAGES Meaning Course of action No video input signal detected No video/valid input signal detected by the video card. The video signal could be absent, too weak, or could be in a format which the Onboard does not accept. Check cabling between the video source and the Onboard. Check the video output format of the source. If this happens during monitoring it is recommended to switch to playback mode and then back to monitoring to ‘re-time’ the Onboard to the incoming video signal.
CONNECTOR PIN OUTS LTC - 5 pin 0B Lemo socket 1 2 3 4 5 Ground LTC IN + LTC IN — LTC OUT — LTC OUT + For unbalanced input, use ‘LTC IN +’ and connect ‘LTC IN -’ to ground (Pin 1).
