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.Scroll only
