ARRI 416 TC Connector ?


Recommended Posts

Doh, my memory is that edge timecode on 16mm was very dicey. It sorta/kinda worked on 35mm and we did use it on some sitcoms back in the day, but in truth, the camera department is not exactly diligent in double-checking the jam, plus there are issues with getting the signal aligned correctly. Aaton actually invented the system, and I think Arri's system was compatible to a point.

 

I'm not sure it's really an issue in 2014. It doesn't cost that much to just hire somebody to sync it all up in post... but I have to say, when the edge timecode system works, it works very well. Evertz had an Aaton-compatible playback system, but it, too, was very flakey sometimes. I'm not sure of many post houses that still offer these systems anymore.
