Timecode Setup
The selected timecode information that is recorded with the video can be overlaid on the output video stream of the server. This can be time of day linear timecode (LTC) coming into the server, or the embedded ancillary timecode (ATC) in the video stream being recorded.

- Server Configuration
  - Channel Setup
  - Video Formats
    Select the video format that the server is operating in, and the source of the reference signal.
  - Video Router Setup
    You can connect the server to an external router and control the sources feeding the server.
  - Audio Setup
    You can select the number of audio channels to record, which sources audio will use, and which audio channel to monitor from the analog audio out headphone jack. The number of AES digital audio inputs and outputs depends on the model of server you purchased. You can select the number of audio tracks to record, which sources audio will use, and which audio channel to monitor from the analog audio out headphone jack.
  - Audio Router Setup
    There are two integrated audio routers built into the server. An input router that sends audio from an audio input to any Media Player, and an output router that sends the audio from a Media Player to any audio output. The number of audio inputs and outputs depends on the options you have installed in your server.
  - Timecode Setup
    The selected timecode information that is recorded with the video can be overlaid on the output video stream of the server. This can be time of day linear timecode (LTC) coming into the server, or the embedded ancillary timecode (ATC) in the video stream being recorded.

  - Channel Label Setup
    You can assign a custom name to each output of a Media Player.
  - Quad Viewer Setup
    The Quad Viewer HD-BNC output displays the Quad Viewer.
  - TSL Tally Setup
    The server can receive TSL messages from a downstream device to tally the channels on the server.

- Maintenance
  Refer to the following information for performing maintenance on your server, muting an alarm, restoring factory defaults, or upgrading the software.
- AsRun Log Creator
  The server keeps a log of stills and clips that have been played in their entirety on all channel of the server. This information can then be filtered and output into either a CSV file or a PDF report.

To Configure the Timecode

The selected timecode information that is recorded with the video can be overlayed on the output video stream of the server.

Note: The timecode overlay is only on the video output and will not appear in the recorded video.

Launch the Kiva Config application.

You may be prompted to allow the program to make changes on the computer, click Yes.
Click the Timecode tab.
In the Timecode Input Source area, select the timecode source for each channel.
- Time of Day LTC In — the LTC signal coming into the server.
- ATC In — the embedded digital timecode in the video source.
In the Replace ATC Output with Timecode Remain area, select the video channels that you want the normal count-up ATC timecode to be replaced with the count-down (time-remaining) ATC timecode.

Tip: This is useful when you want to display count-down timecode in downstream devices that can decode and display ATC timecode.
In the Replace Viewer Timecode with Time Reaming area, select the video channels that you want the normal timecode to be replaced with the count-down (time-remaining) timecode.
In the Timecode Overlay on Video Output area, select whether the timecode is displayed on the video output for each channel.
- Off — the timecode is not shown on the video output stream.
- On in EE and Record — the timecode is only shown when in EE mode or when the channel is recording.
- Always On — the timecode is always shown on the video output stream.
In the Timecode Overlay Position And Size area, use the Left/Right and Top/Bottom sliders to position the timecode overlay on the background video source, and use the H Small/H Large and V Small/ V Large sliders to adjust the size of the timecode text.
In the Clips Beyond 24-Hour Timecode area, select whether the server can record a clip that is longer than 24 hours in length.

Note: External devices controlling the server over VDCP or AMP will not support timecode over 24 hours. You will not be able to seek beyond the 24 hour point as the timecode restarts again.
Click Apply.
