29.97 Jam Sync in Build 15 -- Be ware

[Emery Wells]

Jam Syncing in 29.97 doesn't seem to be working in build 15. 23.98 works perfectly, but no love on the 29.97. Anyone else had success?

Please explain that ? How did you test for this.....

Had three denecke lockit boxes, three cameras, and a 2 denecke slates.

Tried using both the slates and lockits as the master clock. We are recording 4k 16:9 at 29.97 to REDDRIVES. Jam Syncing at 23.98 locks solid but when at 29.97 we were a half second to full second off. The slates and lockits were all set to 29.97 non-drop frame. The cameras accepted the sync from the slate and lockits but they just were not in sync.

Conversely, we used the exact same equipment and tried syncing and recording at 23.98 and everything worked perfectly.

Has anyone else had a chance to test this? Stuart?
