C300 59.94 and 664 TC

[evolvmedia]

After shooting with the Canon C300 for the past several months with a 59.97nd frame rate. I'm now working on another show with it set up for 59.94nd.

 

I'm trying to figure out the proper frame rate setting in the 664 to jam TC? Would I use 29.97nd or 30nd

 

Thanks for your help!

There is no 59.97 TC rate (yet). There is a 29.97 timecode rate. There's also a 59.94 field rate (equivalent to a 29.97 frame rate). 

 

If you're shooting at 59.94, then I'd say use 29.97 timecode. But get it in writing from the editor and/or post supervisor first. And do a workflow test if possible.

Marc, Thanks for the intel. You're correct I misspoke it was 29.97 with the c300 on the last shoot. 

 

But for this shoot I'll set up the 664 up for 29.97 until I hear from post. I'll see if I can do a test. 

 

thanks again.

Using any of the Denecke devices, you can "cross jam" the camera from the box on the zero frame (automatically) and the camera will be in sync.
