Engineering setup for Film to Tape

If the edit timing is incorrect the wrong source frame will appear at the IN point of the record deck

If the event timing is incorrect the film, colour corrector and noise reducer corrections will occur at the wrong point.

If the autoshot timing is incorrect the event will not be marked correctly.

Even if the problem only appears to be the timing of the grading corrections, it is also best to check the edit timing.

To setup timings connect a Player with source material and a Recorder.

Ensure that the Player and Recorder both edit correctly.

Use a vtr or disk that easily jogs field by field as the Recorder. (Not an old D1)
