Excuse me if I seem to be reinventing the wheel but I'm really just trying to confirm (after some research) some ideas I have about using timecode in a two camera shoot.
It's for a longish-term gig that a few friends and I have been talking about that may, or may not, actually occur. Call it a labor of love.
We have:
1) A timecode enabled recorder (okay, okay, it's a Zoom F6 but it's affordable and I own it.)
2) Two timecode enabled cameras, one a Canon C300 and one a Sony FS7.
My idea is to have one Denecke JB-1 that I would just leave on, to act as a master clock, since I think that all of the other stuff's timecode clocks either stop or go off sync when the camera or recorder is turned off.
The JB-1 "Prime" would run for the entire day while other things would be turned on or off and re-synced as needed (there will be some driving/sitting around on each of the shooting days).
I figure that this "prime" JB-1 would be used to feed timecode to the recorder.
I'd have another two JB-1s (one for each camera) to provide them with a timecode signal.
Is this an okay scenario?
