tc question for Marc Wielage


Recommended Posts

Not sure! Haven't used the AG-AF100. The manual is here:

 

http://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/includes/pdf/AG-AF100P_OI.pdf

 

I can't cut and paste from the manual (typical restrictive PDF crap), but the instructions are on page 24. Nothing about crossjamming in there -- it seems to say that it can do 23.98 natively (in 1080 or 720). This camera seems to be able to pretty much handle every HD standard.

If you have a 633, 664 or 788, you can return TC out from the camera and go into the jam menu and see the incoming TC frame rate. I do this every shoot I do and set all my devices to that framerate. So far, it always syncs ( except for Final cut error but that has nothing to do with set TC sync ).

Actually,not trying to cross-jam.What I'm trying to do is use an old HHB DAT as a time code generator [doesn't have 23.98] with a Panasonic AG-af100 cam., while doing HD .If the cam. changes 23.98 to 29.97 automatically then it should be possible ?

 

I've read the manual,and it isn't clear to me.

Does the Panasonic AG-AF100 cam change 23.978 to 29.97 when you jam it with 23.978 and if so if I set the cam to 29.97 and use 29.97 to jam it with, does it turn out the same?

This was addressed by myself and others in a recent thread answering your questions about the AF100:

Not to go off topic but.. this online utility can unlock PDF files: http://www.crackmypdf.com/ I've used it many times.

 

Much appreciated, Rick! 

 

I have used the AF100 before and that definitely expects to see 29.97 code. What I'm curious about is whether all these cameras can cross-jam. The last Panasonic Varicam project I did, I asked the editor and she told me they were going to edit it all at 23.98, so I gave them 23.98TC. I never hoid a woid, so I assume all went well. 

 

 

doubt it, but the rates are compatible, and align on the :00 frame of each second.

 
But what if the code doesn't start on a :00 frame? smiley-hiding-hole.gif
