How to use this IRT version with Aaton XTR camera and Origin master clock? Can Aaton start/stop Nagra when initialized with TC generator (Origin). If not initialized it camera sends ASCI code (exposed on film) through Lemo 5.

Testing Sony walkman with Aaton modd. TC received from Origin - red diode blinks. It doesn't start with wooden grip. Do you know this mic socket? XLR mini?

Ok disassembled Tuchel and cable has signal wire plus shell. Do you remember pinout in Nagra? 1 is ground and 2,3 is signal. I should short 1+3?

How connect 816T mic to Nagra 4.2? Plug/socket has different diameter, Nagra has modern XLR socket. Mic comes with MZA15 battery adapter and MZF15 highpass filter.

Thanks for explanation David. So I'm looking for universal mic pre, plexi cover, rubber gasket. Is there external crystal sync (record and playback) for Nagra SN? Purpose of red cover?

And advice how use LN (low noise) vs. STD tape selector. Crystal sync works, QLSI is there.

A bit strange T12 cannot be switched off.

Yes Google explains opposite connection only.

Nagra 4.2 can be started/stopped shorting Mixer pins - will test soon. But my newly purchased 4.2 has T12 only (no selector). How can I connect P48 mic or dynamic?

It is key code because I did not have OriginC to initialize TC. I thought I can extract TC from audio file and see in let say Premiere.

David, I have no problem requesting to scan whole are of film. See attached scan of Ektachrome 400. ASCII code is K452 from XTR.

Constantin, I want point and shot and not bother with sound at all - like a camcorder. First we discussed trigger coupled with camera button but there is no solution we must hack remotes for popular recorders. Second solution is timecode exposed on film and in audio file but I am amateur and don't know how to handle in popular apps that why looking for advices. If I could have time code displayed with audio file then could copy fragment that is on film and combine. Is there any other solution without pushing rec or slate button each scene?

Keylink is no go. I asked my lab and response was null. Why I can't do this manually?

I'm interested if Aaton code could be read from audio file.

This is how TC on film looks like but my XTR prints ASCII only.

So there is no code in audio track I could import to popular applications and manually sync with picture?

How to read time code from recorder when it is jammed with Aaton Origin and code is also exposed on film? How to match both?

How to read code from recorder and visually match with code exposed on film? Both jammed with Origin.

Zaxcom says it is not possible. Possibly my Aaton XTR can turn on Zaxcom using TC - camera has 5 pins Lemo. I need special cable with attenuator?

These are big and some heavy - would be nice something to be attached to camera. F8 has slate, haven't found any button trigger.

Good point Olle. Will check F8. Just need fire 16mm camera with recorder. Tascam DR100mk2 uses proprietary trigger.

I'm looking for affordable audio recorder or smartphone app so that I could record sound pushing and holding button on wire and when release that button stop recording without much delay.

Aaton can't advice how to use Origin. I think it is useless if can't trigger both camera and recorder or expose TC on film.

What is Aaton coder MK4?

My friend is working on this. He was director at Panavision Poland long time ago and service film cameras for over 50 years.
