Sync and timecode
To calibrate the camera in Shogun Live, both genlock and timecode are required. The camera requires the RED Komodo Expander Module to give easy access to genlock and timecode. Ensure this is fitted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Two cables are required to connect the timecode generator to the Komodo Expander module: one for genlock and one for timecode.

| Important Shogun Live does not visually indicate whether the camera is getting a genlock signal and cannot tell whether the camera is getting external timecode or generating it internally, so you must check this on the camera itself. |
