KONA LS/LSe Installation and Operation Manual — Using The KONA LS
Timecode Screen The timecode is used for both monitoring the RP-188 timecode embedded in the
digital data stream and for selecting a timecode offset (if required) for the attached
VTR (connected to KONA LS’s RS-422 port)—and sent during assemble-edit mode.
KONA LS Control Panel, Timecode Tab
Timecode Screen Settings
RP-188 Timecode <n>—in RP-188 timecode there can be multiple timecode values
in the data stream. Use this pull-down to select the one you wish to monitor. The
selection will be displayed in the timecode value displayed to the right of the pull-
down.
User Bits—For monitoring Varicam timecode, you may wish to monitor the user bits
embedded in the timecode. If you set this checkbox, KONA LS will detect and
interpret the Varicam user bits and display them next to the checkbox.
KONA LS Control Panel, Timecode Tab, User Bits Checked
Use QuickTime Timecode—when checked, this directs KONA to output timecode
from the QuickTime timecode track. When not checked, KONA uses the Output
Timecode Offset value plus the number of frames into the movie. Note: not all
QuickTime applications use or support timecode tracks—so sometimes the
QuickTime timecode is missing or not meaningful.
