Don't know if the above is the right name for it but I had an idea.
Since epic leaves a little black letterbox in the HD frame it would be great if that could be used for something...
My idea would be to put some sort of code there. Like the old digibetas had timecode in top of frame as (i might be wrong) was called smpt code.
If we had clip name, and time code there then we could record the fee on an external device and read that code, and get the right corresponding names etc.
We are currently making a program that looks for the red dot that appears when camera goes in record and when it does our program starts to record. To get the file names is a bit tricker since they are written in frame on moving background. if it was small text or such out in the black borders ass well then we could easily read it.
so please some type of barcode on frame would be great, then we can completely digitize the video assist... LOL
