Output Timecode Offset (entry field and FPS pull-down)—this text entry field allows you to
specify a timecode offset for use with your editing application if it has timecode offsets
that are user-controlled. In FCP 7, go to “Timeline Options” and locate the “Starting
Timecode” value. Use that same value here as the “Output Timecode Offset” to ensure
the timecode is synchronized.
Timecode Burn-in—this pulldown selects whether the timecode value is “burned-in” on
video output from KONA LHe Plus. If set to “OFF”, timecode will not be keyed over the
video. If set to “timecode”, then the timecode value will be keyed over the output video.
This can be useful for synchronizing, choosing edit points, dailies, and many other
purposes.
Note: SMPTE RP 188 defines a standard for the transmission of time code and control code in
the ancillary data space of a digital television data stream. Time code information is
transmitted in the ancillary data space as defined in ANSI/SMPTE 291M. Multiple codes
can be transmitted within a single digital video data stream. Other time information, such
as real time clock, DTTR tape timer information, and other user-defined information, may
also be carried in the ancillary time code packet instead of time code. The actual
information transmitted through the interface is identified by the coding of a distributed
binary bit. Equipment manufacturers can use the meta data for different purposes.
