Timecode from a Sony PMW-F3 when sent to an HDMI recorder?


Recommended Posts

Am shooting a feature film at the moment with 2x Sony PMW-F3, and yesterday I couldn't get timecode working at all with A Cam. 

 

Because they're F3 cameras which only do 8 bit internal but have 10 bit external, we were only using external recording with them. 

 

I had no problem at all having correct timecode on B Cam's recorder, but we were using an SDI recorder on that one. 

 

However was impossible for me to get it working on the day with the A Cam recorder which was an HDMI one. 

 

Has any one else encountered issues before with timecode from a Sony PMW-F3 over HDMI?

Got a 2nd SDI recorder for the next day of shooting, an Atomos Shogun Inferno:

Sony doesn't always adhere to standards anyway.  They have current cameras with (so-called) AES inputs designed to work with their wireless receivers, but not all others. 

 


Oh, that is not good to hear.
