Tom Visser Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 What's the practical usages for the A (avid), B (barebones), and C (faux) modes? I'm running X2 as master to Zaxcom IFb200 to ERX-2TCD feeding Alexa's and having some issues. Using 23.98nd-B with all set to 23.98 all around.

Jim Rillie Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hello Tom, I have been using the "C"option for years, after working it out with post on one project many years ago. That seems to be the standard for North American production with the Cantar. Anyone else doing it differently? This is for broadcast/cable TV final on long form drama shooting HD with TC at 23.976 ( or does the Cantar call it 23.98 - you know what I mean) , also earlier on some Panasonic camera shoots at 29.97. When we were shooting film up until last year, we went with 30FPS TC, and they did the pull downs in post as per the old ways. ( various networks) Best Regards, Jim Rillie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Visser Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thanks Jim, had a chance to try a quick test with slate for DIT over lunch, hopefully he confirms C is good or will just try out C if all else fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Visser Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 C did the trick - good to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobo Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 When I had one, I always used "C". No complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
