The following document describes connections to the ITK Millennium and Sony Vialta Telecines.
References to the 4025TR manual are to version 1.0 printed January 1998.
1. CONNECTING AN ITK TELECINE
1.1 General Information
Two signals, (biphase tach and OPD pulse) must be connected from the telecine in order to generate
field accurate time code and KeyKode numbers. The location and description of these signals depend
on the model of your telecine. Sections 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 provide an overview of the ITK connections.
Section 1.2 provides some additional information specific to the ITK Millennium telecine. In addition to
making the physical connections to the telecine you will have to select the biphase rate, telecine type
and set up for any video processing delays between the output of your telecine and the input of the
4025TR.
1.1.1 Biphase Tach from the ITK Telecine
The 4025TR is fitted with a nine pin female 'D' connector (PARALLEL I/O) for connection to the
telecine. The pin connections are shown in section 7.1.1 of the 4025TR manual.
The BPH1 and BPH2 inputs (pins 3 & 7 respectively) should be connected to biphase quadrature tach
pulses from the telecine. These TTL level pulses usually come at a rate of 10 pulses per film frame.
The 4025TR can also accommodate tach rates of 1, 2 or 5 pulses per frame. For best results use the
highest biphase rate possible. Use the BIPHASE RATE item of the Telecine Setup screen in
KEYLOG TRACKER™ to set the 4025TR to the correct biphase rate. Correct connections will result in
EDGE numbers that increment and decrement when the telecine moves forward and reverse
respectively. In the event that the 4025TR counts in the reverse direction when the telecine is in the
forward direction, reverse the two biphase connections to the 4025TR.
To minimize the effects of cross coupling and noise on the biphase signals,
which can affect the counting reliability of the 4025TR, you should use a cable,
which provides separate shields for each phase of the biphase signal.
1.1.2 ITK Film Frame Pulse
In addition to the biphase connections, a film frame pulse is required. This pulse occurs when a new
film frame starts in the video output, while the telecine is in normal play speed. The 4025TR uses the
film frame pulse to lock its timecode output to the correct telecine pulldown sequence during the
transfer.

Model 4025TR Film Footage Encoder Manual
4025TR Manual Change Sheet 1.0-2
Date of Issue: June 6, 2001 Page 2 of 6
The OPD pulse is a 2 msec wide active low pulse that goes low during the first field of each new film
frame on the telecine output. This signal should always change level around VSYNC time. The OPD
pulse is available on the rear panel of the telecine and must be connected to the FRAME PULSE loop
on the 4025TR rear panel.
Do not terminate this signal.
Connection of a Film frame pulse is required even with 1:1 video transfers in
NTSC and PAL to permit the 4025TR to distinguish the difference between the
field 1 and field 2 dominant pull downs.
Setting the telecine type item of Telecine Setup screen in KEYLOG TRACKER™ also selects the default
type of pulldown pulse used for the telecine. The telecine type should be set to match the ITK telecine
type being used to accept the OPD pulse input from the FRAME PULSE BNC loop on the rear panel.
1.2 ITK Millennium
The Biphase tach pulse is available on the 9 pin D Biphase 1 connector on the Millennium. These
biphase signals must be connected to pins 3 & 7 of the 9 pin parallel I/O D connector of the 4025TR as
shown in Figure 2. Retain the separate shielding of each signal up to the 4025TR in order to prevent
cross-coupling which can adversely affect the biphase reliability. You should set the biphase rate of the
Mag biphase in the Millennium Metaspeed menu to 10 pulses per frame.

1.3 Verifying the Connections to an ITK Telecine
When you have completed the basic telecine connections, you will need to verify the frame accuracy of
the basic system using the procedure in section 2.11.7 of the 4025TR manual or section 1.4.4 and
1.4.5 of the KEYLOG TRACKER™ manual. Once you have verified the basic connections, you may
proceed to the KeyKode reader installation outlined in section 2.13 of the 4025TR manual.
2. CONNECTING A SONY TELECINE
2.1 General Information
Two signals, (biphase tach and SEQ pulse) must be connected from the telecine in order to generate
field accurate time code and KeyKode numbers. The location and description of these signals depend
on the model of your telecine. Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 provide an overview of the Sony connections.
Section 2.1.3 provides some additional information specific to the Sony Vialta telecine. In addition to
making the physical connections to the telecine you will have to select the biphase rate, telecine type
and set up for any video processing delays between the output of your telecine and the input of the
4025TR.
2.1.1 Biphase Tach from the Sony Telecine
The 4025TR is fitted with a nine pin female 'D' connector (PARALLEL I/O) for connection to the
telecine. The pin connections are shown in section 7.1.1 of the 4025TR manual.
The BPH1 and BPH2 inputs (pins 3 & 7 respectively) should be connected to biphase quadrature tach
pulses from the telecine. These TTL level pulses usually come at a rate of 10 pulses per film frame.
The 4025TR can also accommodate tach rates of 1, 2 or 5 pulses per frame. For best results use the
highest biphase rate possible. Use the BIPHASE RATE item of the Telecine Setup screen in
KEYLOG TRACKER™ to set the 4025TR to the correct biphase rate. Correct connections will result in
EDGE numbers that increment and decrement when the telecine moves forward and reverse
respectively. In the event that the 4025TR counts in the reverse direction when the telecine is in the
forward direction, reverse the two biphase connections to the 4025TR.
To minimize the effects of cross coupling and noise on the biphase signals,
which can affect the counting reliability of the 4025TR, you use a cable, which
provides separate shields for each phase of the biphase signal.

Figure 3: Sony SEQ Pulse (shown for 2:3 Transfers)
The normal SEQ pulse from the Vialta is a 1 msec wide active high pulse that goes high during the first
field of each new film frame on the telecine output. This signal should always change level around
VSYNC time. The SEQ pulse is available on the SD output module from the telecine. The 4025TR
requires an active low pulse. You will have to perform a small modification to the SD output module to
change the SEQ pulse to active low. Contact your Sony field service representative for information on
how to perform this modification. The active low SEQ pulse output from the telecine must be
connected to the FRAME PULSE loop on the 4025TR rear panel.
Do not terminate this signal.
Connection of a Film frame pulse is required even with 1:1 video transfers in
NTSC and PAL to permit the 4025TR to distinguish the difference between the
field 1 and field 2 dominant pull downs.
Setting the telecine type item of Telecine Setup screen in KEYLOG TRACKER™ also selects the default
type of pulldown pulse used for the telecine. The telecine type should be set to match the Sony
telecine type being used to accept the SEQ pulse input from the FRAME PULSE BNC loop on the rear
panel.
2.1.3 Sony Vialta
The Biphase tach pulse is available on the 9 pin D AUX 6 connector on the Vialta. These biphase
signals must be connected to pins 3 & 7 of the 9 pin parallel I/O D connector of the 4025TR as shown
in Figure 4. Retain the separate shielding of each signal up to the 4025TR in order to prevent cross-
coupling which can adversely affect the biphase reliability.
