ARRI ALEXA Mini LF

In this guide we’ll show how to make an ARRI ALEXA Mini LF accept external timceode and Genlock.

Turn on you Lockit devices. Choose one of them to be the Master by pressing-and-holding the green button.

Make sure that all cameras and Lockit devices run on the same frame rate:

• On the Lockit, press green and red simultaneously to enter menu, then and navigate to “Project Rate”
• Set up the Camera as follows:
  • Enter the menu
    
  • Go to "Recording"
  • Go to “Project Settings”
  • Adjust “Project Rate”

These settings make the camera accept external timecode:

• In the home screen Press the TC button
  
• Choose "Options"
• Set "Run Mode" to "Free Run"
• Set "Mode" to "Regen"

For this camera you need a TC-IO timecode cable.

Connect it to the LEMO timecode connector

• Now the camera the camera will accept our external LTC timecode signal and show it in the display.

Genlock

If your project requires Genlock, you can use the same setup. ARRI cameras can lock their sensor to an accurate timecode input via Lockits.

• Enter Menu
• Go to “System”
• Go to “Sensor”
• As “Genlock Sync” select “Timecode”

The camera is now Genlock-synced to the ACN timecode.
