jacquesstar Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 So I have worked with the Canon C300, and jammed my recorder to the camera. How do I jam with a Canon 1DC? I have a 664 recorder. Is there a timecode input/output on the camera? I know that the C500 has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmahaAudio Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 It seems to have some sort of Time Code functionality (http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/cinema_eos_cameras/eos_1d_c#Features) but the manual doesn't show any input for TC, just output via the HDMI port.

soundslikejustin Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 It's only for matching 'time code' between cameras. There is no way to get true SMPTE TC onto the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That blows, I was looking at this DSLR for purchase. Going to look at C100 and C300 instead for topside shooting. Going to consider the new 7d coming out for underwater. Also would be less costly to replace if my housing floods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Wielage Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I need to again break out my T-shirt that says: "Real Professionals Don't Use Toy Cameras." The lack of timecode on these cameras can be a nightmare, particularly when an editing database is munged and the reels are not carefully identified. Once those links are busted, the whole show can collapse. And re-editing is still very dodgy. So the lack of timecode is not just a sound problem.

sergiofucchi Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Perhaps it can be remedied by using a small external video recorder. Usually they have the possibility of continuous synchronization with external TC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Wielage Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm not convinced this is referenced phase-accurate timecode -- I think it's BSTC (bullshit timecode). Even a $10,000 camera like the EOS-1D is still a toy camera. The Canon C100, C300, and C500 are all real cameras that can do an OK job, but those still need external TC boxes for day-long accuracy, particularly with the sound department and when used with other cameras.
