The camera fujifilm xt2from camera fujifilm xt2allows you to see incoming timecode from your monitor. The XT2 displays timecode, time, or samples & bars. It is designed for use in recording and post production studios. The XT2 has a multi-color function for all segments. During playback, the timecode is green, for "ready" it is yellow, and during recording all segments it is red. You can also choose a base color of red-only for all modes.

The Studio Display XT2 comes included with the PunchLight DLi Display & Light interface. This small box has one output for the Display XT2 and two outputs for connecting external lights such as the Recording Display, Lamp, and Ring (sold separately). The PunchLight DLi connects to computer via a standard USB 6.6' cable. The Studio Display XT2 is hooked up to the PunchLight DLi via a 32.8' six-wire cable, terminated at both ends by RJ11 phone connectors.

The XT2 has added seconds to the clock. Additionally, time is continuously backed up via the internal battery, so the clock remains set when the unit is turned off or disconnected from the power supply. The remote control can turn off the last two segments, switch between dots or colons, filter MTC, switch the display between "Pro Tools" or other audio applications ("Generic"), and set overall brightness. You can send custom messages from your computer to the display via the remote.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Why did Fujifilm make the X-T3 In China instead of Japan?

A: I had an xt2, been using an xt3 since 2018. No obvious difference. To the earlier poster. A Japanese xt3 wouldnt cost $3000. Xpro 3s are made in Japan for under $2k

Q: 2. need to ask on the battery grip, do I have to buy the extra 2 batteries separately, or the battery grip comes with 2 batteries included like with the x-h1?

A: Grip does not come with batteries. Camera comes with 1 battery, so you will have to purchase 1 additional battery to use grip.

Q: 3. Will this fit the new Fujifilm X-T3 and its battery grip?

A: Since the new XT-3 is close to 1/2 inch thicker than the XT-2, it's doubtful the Kirk L-Bracket you're asking about will fit the new vertical grip. But since nobody has actually seen one yet, it's really too early to know for sure. Wait until the new grip is released and compare specs with the old one.

Q: 4. If I use the Atomos Ninja V recorder with the XT3, can I record for an hour in 1080p?

A: Yes, when using an external recorder you can bypass the cameras internal record limit. Your recording limit will depend on how big your storage is. So as long as you have enough storage capacity you will be able to shoot for well over an hour while using the Atomos Ninja V.

Q: 5. Using the supplied AC adapter, how can we know that both of (or the) batterie(s) are fully charged ? Is there a kind of a lamp or is it only a matter of charging time ?

A: Two green lights go on, means two batteries are chagrinning. One light goes off, means only one battery is charging. Both lights off means both batteries are charged. Blinking lights means you have a problem.

Q: 6. Is this only compatible with the X-T2? Would it work with an X-T20?

A: It's for the Fujifilm X-T2 only.

Q: 7. I'm assuming that a ball head quick release plate will screw onto the bottom? What are the limitations?

A: I use quick release plates on mine all the time. Balance can be a little odd but nothing unusual. The only real issue is the flexing of the the plastic portion that surrounds the side of the camera. As others have noted it has a gap. Feels funky but really is not an issue. It is a good product.

Q: 8. Does it further improve auto focus performance? or is it the same as in-camera boost mode?

A: It's slightly better autofocus. Fuji's detailed page explains the precise differences. Shooting interval goes from 0.19 sec. to 0.17 sec., shutter lag from 0.05 sec. to 0.045 sec., blackout time from 130msec. to 114msec., and finally high speed shooting goes from 8 fps to 11 fps.In practice the difference if fairly minimal.

Q: 9. Any EF to X-mount adapter recommendations?

A: There are many to choose from, none in particular. But note that that EF is electrically controlled just like Fujfilm XF lenses, so if you want autofocus and aperture control you must buy one that has the correct electronic circuits. Canon FD lenses are manual so those are easier.

Q: 10. Where can I find the plastic cover that protects the pins on the grip?

A: Try calling the Fujifilm service facility in Edison NJ and ask for parts. 1-800-659-3854
