AATONCODE
After initialization, the OriginCplus should be left on during produc-
tion to act as a visual reference and for quick drift monitoring. Once
timecode has been initialized into the camera(s) and sound recorder,
accurate time will be individually maintained in each machine for 7
hours. It is suggested, however, that new timecode be re-initialized after
4 hours or so as a precautionary measure. Get into the habit of using the
OriginCplus to monitor timcode drift in each device when possible;...

Because more and more cineasts are using sound recorders not speci-
fically designed for cinema, which means with no integrated timeco-
de,  Aaton needed to modify its OriginCplus: now, OriginCplusis
able to serve as a SMPTE generator, which you can connect to any
sound recorder.
But OriginCplusmay be too big and too powerful for such an usage.
So Aaton decided to build the GMT1, a mini SMPTE generator
also designed to provide a timecode track for any sound recorder.
The GMT1 is smaller than the...

check that all diodes are operational and evenly illuminated. As part
of the normal gate cleaning procedure, clean this area with a Q-tip
moisten with lens cleaning fluid to assure that no dust particles
cover the LED array.
The seven diodes will illuminate in test position whether or not
timecode is running in the camera.
