Every can of negative is numbered and its contents logged. The minimum data entered is the Keycode number for every section of negative with its frame accurate length.
Optionally, Scene and Take numbers, printer lights used when printing Dailies and descriptive comments may also be logged.
If the negative is transferred to video then the timecode at a starting sync point can be logged, so that every frame has a timecode as well as a keycode. Mid reel re-synching may be performed as often as needed. In addition the frame rates of the film and video with appropriate timecode standards can be selected for correct conversion of the timecode to keycode.
Every work print reel is logged frame accurately, with keycode or edge numbers, fades and dissolves, spacer sections and optional comments can also entered.
Alternatively the operator can upload from floppy disc timecode based data or EDLs, created by off-line editing systems by using the timecode data from the original transfer a frame accurate conversion from timecode to keycode is made.
Compatible with: olormaster, INPS, Pheonix, OSCR and AVID.
