Timecode is used to identify the time at which data from the SDI camera and the Vicon system was captured. This ensures that the data from the two sources can be aligned. The calibrator can then determine any small remaining discrepancy remaining discrepancy and apply an offset to the video input to correct for it.
Consequently, both the SDI camera and the Vicon system must have a valid genlock signal and a valid timecode. Two Two cables are required to transmit reference sync and timecode to the camera, whereas the a single cable can carry both reference sync and timecode to the Vicon Lock unit.

- On the Blackmagic URSA Mini 4K:
- ConnectConnect SDI Out to the input on the DeckLink card on the PC that will run Shogun Live.
- ConnectConnect SDI In to TG1-2 on the Evertz 5601MSC.
- ConnectConnect REF IN / TC IN to to LTC OUT 1on on the Evertz 5601MSC.
- Connect from the Evertz 5601MSC to the Vicon Lock unit, depending on your Lock model:
- Vicon Lock or Vicon Lock+: ConnectConnect SYNC 1on on the Evertz 5601MSC toto REF LOOPon on the Lock or Lock+. Put a 75Ω terminator on the otherother REF LOOP connector. (Note that Lock or Lock+ can capture only PAL (25 Hz) or NTSC (29.97 Hz): for true 30 Hz, you must use a Lock Studio.)
Scroll pagebreak - Vicon Lock Studio: Connect TG1-1 on the Evertz 5601MSC to SDI In on the Lock Studio.
- Vicon Lock or Vicon Lock+: ConnectConnect SYNC 1on on the Evertz 5601MSC toto REF LOOPon on the Lock or Lock+. Put a 75Ω terminator on the otherother REF LOOP connector. (Note that Lock or Lock+ can capture only PAL (25 Hz) or NTSC (29.97 Hz): for true 30 Hz, you must use a Lock Studio.)
