  1. Does anyone here have any experience related to sending timecode wirelessly to a camera audio track and the workflow of using audio timecode in post? Timecode sync is essential for a upcoming production i will be working on and the style of Doc won't allow for TC slate or anything like that. Using the 664 I will be sending audio via 2 channel hop. I would like to attach a lockit box to ensure sync but there will be no TC I/O on the camera unless a extension is added. I'm pushing for the extension but if the budget won't allow it I, would the below set up work? 664 TC Lemo to TA5 female into the Lectro SMQV, then from the Lectro dual receiver to camera, To me this seems risky and it would be a massive headache, especially if in post if the TC can't be decoded for whatever reason. Also don't think pluraleyes will be an option as I read in this forum that it doesn't like multi channel audio files? Will be 8+ tracks poly wavs mostly. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!!!
  2. I'm working on coming up with a system to manage sync wirelessly over 2 to 3 cameras and 2 or more audio recorders. A little background: I'm traveling around this summer working as the audio department recording music festivals and performances of various genres (mostly folk/etc). The cameras and the audio recorders have the distinct possibility of being spread somewhat far apart, and should be mobile. Currently, the setup I'm looking at would involve sending TC over Wifi from one central, accurate generator to an iDevice attached to each camera/recorder using Movieslate. From my research, this is the least expensive actually workable solution. Pretending for a moment that the above solution works (and I'm open to suggestions otherwise), here's where things break down. Although I'm not necessarily involved with post-production, it is in my job description to make life easiest for the editors. I'd like to be able to take footage from each camera and recorder, throw it in a NLE, and have everything line up via TC regardless of if the clips are contiguous or not. It seems to me like there should be a way to do this, but I haven't found it yet. A verbose explanation of the problem, better than what I can write, can be read here. To reiterate, if I let TC coming from the central generator free run starting at the beginning at the day, all the recorded media from that day will be stamped with a version of "time-of-day". I cannot, however, find a software solution to interpret multiple cameras and audio streams and place them into one timeline based on that time-of-day stamp. What's worked for you? Thanks for the help.
  3. Hi. On the shoot we are doing at the moment, we had a drifting problem when using Ambient Lockits (the red ones). We were using LTC code and a master clock to jam 4 clocks. We were getting reports form post that the cameras were drifting 2 to 8 frames per day. Checked all the settings on the clocks and were correct. We tried using ASCII code and the IR option for the Jam, It works. Solid as a rock and easier to Jam Convenient as we don't have to take the clock out form a steadycam rig and re-balance, for instance. I hope it helps other people that face similar problems.
