User Manual

Input is set automatically based on the format and frame rate selected:
4:2:2 – for use with 1.5G single link 4:2:2 HD-SDI signals 3G – for use with 3G single link 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 HD-SDI signals
Output option has four settings:
Default – no conversion is done for output 4:2:2 – all material is output as 4:2:2 digital video signal 3G – dual link material is output as 3GHz digital video signal
Duplicated – provides duplicated 4:2:2 outputs of a single camera input
LUTS
The Onboard S can apply 1D LUTs in ASSIMILATE SCRATCH format to the video outputs for monitoring and playback. To load a LUT refer to the ‘Getting Logs and Loading LUTs Guide’.
From the Control Panel select Options when in live or play mode and from this sub-menu select LUT. You can enable/disable any LUT on the system from here.
REMOTE USER INTERFACE
It is possible to control the Onboard S from a remote User Interface (UI), running on a networked computer. The remote UI software is available for both Windows and Mac, and can be
downloaded from www.codexdigital.com/software. Once it is installed, ensure the IP address of the Onboard S and the remote computer are in the same range, i.e. if the Onboard S IP is
192.168.1.110 and the subnet is 255.255.255.0 then the remote computer should have an IP which begins 192.168.1. and the last number of it’s IP should be any number between 1 and 254,
except for 110. The remote computer should also have a subnet of 255.255.255.0. Use the SYSTEM menu within SETUP on the Onboard S to check/change network settings. With correct
network settings and an ethernet cable attaching the Onboard S to the remote computer, run the Codex software package and enter the Onboard S IP address in the Connect to Server box.
Initially you will not be ‘IN CONTROL’, which means you can edit shot metadata but not control the functions of the Onboard S. Go to the SETUP tab, then the CONTROL screen, and you can
press ‘TAKE CONTROL’ in order to control all settings and functions of the Onboard S.
VOLTAGE RANGES
Timecode – Select the appropriate timecode setting.
HD VANC takes timecode embedded from the video
stream – in this case Fix TC Breaks should be set to
No - this is especially critical for correct timecode
handling when shooting in Variframe mode from the
Alexa. LTC takes timecode from the external
connector. TCG uses the internal clock.
Audio – The Onboard S can record between 1 and
8 channels of embedded audio from the video
stream. Select the appropriate number of channels
and bit-depth. No audio is recorded in Variframe
mode.
