Thanks so much for the info! I just received the rental kit with the 633 yesterday. The shoot is today. I know the value of reading up on gear as I have been an audio engineer working in my recording studio for 20 years. Doing sound for film is new territory for me. I figured out all I need to know for this shoot, and I hope to purchase a 633 soon. I'll read the manual inside and out.

Hello all, I'm fairly new to the film industry and have worked on a bunch of low budget films as a sound recordist. In all of these gigs, a dumb slate has been used, and I've just tracked and delivered audio to the editor to be manually synced in post. I just scored my first gig as a location sound mixer and am using a 633, with two IFB hops, and a smart slate. The production company is using FS7's but they do not have the back plate so I have no way to jam time code to the camera's. The producer wants me to just use the smart slate and jam timecode from the 633 to the slate. I've gone into the time code menu on the 633, selected "Jam TC" and connected the Denecke to it and turned on the slate power. The slate won't match the time code from the 633. I can't figure out how to get it right. Any advice from all of you seasoned vets? Thanks Sean
