ARRI Forum

Hi,

I was wondering does the Alexi Mini output timecode? I have been trying to get a it to talk to this small stablizer box (SteadXP.com) and I can’t seem to make it work. Is there any settings that I should have the camera on for it to output timecode.

Thanks Michael

Hello Michael,

Mini outputs a TC on its connector by default. There are no settings needed.
Looking at the SteadXP device, there's no TC connector. They use the mic-jack:

SteadXP+ uses the stereo audio input of your camera to synchronize itself with video recording.

You need to build yourself a connector cable that feeds to the line-In of your Mini. You will need to test if the output level of the SteadXP is fine for that setup.
Audio cable K2.0006171
ARRI offers a cable with a matching connector to create audio adapters. The following table shows the wire assignments of this cable.
