Technical Experience with Datakode™ Magnetic Control Surface
Ronald E. Uhlig · SMPTE Journal · 1984
In the past year, new and modified equipment has been built to record and reproduce time code using the Datakode™ magnetic control surface. This article discusses mechanisms to record time code in 16 and 35mm motion-picture cameras, modifications to editing tables and synchronizers to play back time code, and a new device for synchronizing sound and pictures during editing. Experience gained in development of this equipment may assist others working on similar devices.
