Here's what I have: Ambient Lockit 202CT and a Tascam DR-701D recorder. Here's what I want: I want a LTC audio signal that is drift free (relative to the wordclock) of the BWF in the DR-701D. Why I want this: I need to make an 8 hour continuous audio recording that can be easily(ish) synced in post to 5+ cameras that are all turning on and off at random. Each camera will record the LTC to an audio track. The duration of each video track will be so short that the difference between each cameras clock and the wordclock/LTC is sub frame. Plan A: If I took the tri-level sync and wordclock from the Lockit and had a magic box that could make SDI+audio, I could turn that into HDMI+audio and then feed that HDMI into the Tascam and the Tascam would sync its wordclock to the hdmi. I can take the LTC from the lockit and feed it to the Tascam as well and then I would have BWF's that were wordclock-locked to the Lockit and had the appropriate timecode in the bwf from the LTC. I don't know where to find this magic box cheap. Plan B: If I had a device that could take HDMI with embedded timecode from the Tascam and then burp out LTC, I could just let the Tascam be the master source of LTC + wordclock for itself. I don't know how to find this magic box either. I wish the Tascam just had an LTC out. Any ideas/hope?
