EXT speed

For the film camera to be driven from an external source such as external

speed control generating 100ppfp (pulses per film pict), press the «set» key,

then the «var» key. Press the «var» key once again to switch from VAR to

EXT SPEED.

Press the «set» key to validate your selection.

EXT SYNC speed

To synchronize the camera to the scanning rate of a computer or video mon-

itor while removing the roll bar, press the «set» key then «tech» to open the

Technical Menu.

Select the EXT SYNC item with the «down» key then the «right» key to

access it. Select 1 or 2ppvf (pulse per video frame) with the «up» or «down»

key. Press the «set» key to validate your choice.

To get access to the external sync speed mode, press the «set» key, then the

«var» key. Press the «var» key twice to switch from VAR to EXT SPEED and

to EXT SYNC SPEED. If a valid incoming sync signal is detected, the

appropriate speed is displayed. Run the camera and press the «up» or

«down» key to remove the roll bar. This one-time phase adjustment sets the

relationship of the camera shutter to the source signal. After this initial phas-

ing this relationship remains identical every time the camera is turned on, the

roll bar remains off-screen.

NOTE: If the source signal is faulty or invalid, the camera runs at 3fps, the

speed icon is blinking.
