Timecode

RED cameras use non-drop frame timecode. For more information about timecode, go to Timecode, Genlock, Multi-Camera Setup.

Timecode Display Mode

• Time of Day (TOD): Displays the time of day (HH:MM:SS:FF). TOD timecode runs continuously and is not affected by recording. TOD timecode can be synchronized with the Real-Time Clock (RTC) in the camera.
• Edge: Edge timecode is continuous between clips, meaning that when recording starts, timecode begins. and when recording stops, timecode stops. By default, Edge timecode default begins at 01:00:00:00, but can be configured in the Media menu when formatting an SSD.

Timecode Source

• User Provided: Allows you to select one of the following:
  • Use RTC Time: Uses the internal Real Time Clock as the timecode counter source. You can set the hours, minutes, and seconds in the numerical boxes on the screen.
  • Set Manually: Define a custom value as the timecode counter seed. Set the hours, minutes, and seconds in the numerical boxes on the screen.
• External: BRAIN: Uses the timecode from an external device connected to the timecode connector on the camera.
• External: Rear Module: Uses the timecode from an external device connected to a Pro I/O Module or a REDCAST Module.

LTC Out

The LTC Out (linear timecode out) check box is only available when a Pro I/O Module is attached. Select the LTC Out check box to output the linear timecode signal generated by the camera through the timecode (TCODE) port on the Pro I/O Module.

NOTE: If jamming camera timecode to a timecode device, ensure that LTC Out is disabled.
