Incorrect cycle per frame settings on selected cameras will cause incorrect camera readings on the monitor data display box.

 

Cycles per frame settings are to camera manufacturers factory specifications.  However, after market camera modifications may effect tachometer (cycles per frame) output.  Therefore, if a questionable reading appears on the screen, refer to the formula and examples below to reprogram the correct cycles per frame setting.  If no readings appear in either the footage counter or tachometer data box, the tachometer output has been removed or reassigned to a different pin.

 

(incorrect reading that is currently displayed in the data box – FPS)

 

incorrect FPS                 x           /F (cycles per frame)      =          correct setting

     24 fps

 

incorrect FPS = current on screen data box display with camera running

24 fps = known frame rate of camera’s running speed

/F = current setting on Duo’s cycles per frame setting.

 

 

Ex. 1                 12 fps (data box reads)               50/F = 100/F (correct setting)

                        24 fps

 

Ex. 2                   6 fps (data box reads)              50/F = 200/F (correct setting)

                        24 fps
