Timecode Generator
The timcode generator automatically runs time of day timecode from the moment you launch
ATEM Software Control. However, you can reset the counter to zero, or manually enter a new
timecode value to start from.
When using ATEM Mini Pro, the timecode generator
can be set to time of day, or free run timecode
where you can set a manual preset timecode
To manually set a preset timecode value:
1
Click in the 'run mode' drop down menu and select 'free run'.
2
In the smaller timecode counter, type in a defined timecode value. As you type, the
new values will appear green.
To confirm the change and set the timecode running, click 'set'.
Time of Day
When ATEM Mini Pro is connected to your computer, the unit will sync time of day timecode
with your computer. The unit has a built in clock that can continue running for approximately 6
days, so once you disconnect ATEM Mini Pro from your computer, the time of day timecode will
continue until the battery is depleted. The battery will charge while connected to your
computer via USB.
NOTE
The timecode generator is also crucial when recording isolated files on
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras 4K and 6K. When these cameras are connected
to ATEM Mini's HDMI inputs, they will automatically conform to the ATEM timecode
generator. That means when all cameras are recording the same timecode, you
can edit your broadcast in post production and have all cameras easily synchronized
on a multicamera timeline. For example, you can import your isolated camera
recordings in DaVinci Resolve and setup a multicamera edit with all cameras synced to
the same timecode.
