EPIC TIMECODE SYNCH QUESTIONS

[Anson Fogel]

Hey oh wealth of knowledge the is the RedVerse, a few questions. Simple questions. I am on yet another shoot with EPIC and we need to synch TC with a Denecke TS3 Slate, an audio recorder of as yet unknown type but with TC in on 3 pin XLR, and potentially a Ki Pro Mini. I've got this dialed in with MX by now, but not EPIC. Questions:

1. On the special EPIC Lemo > 3 BNC cable, which color is TC sync? Hunted in the manual. Not clear. Dumb but easy question.
2. The EPIC TC menu is shall we say, minimal. I do believe I've made sense of things, but perhaps someone can tell me how to JAM with an EPIC?
3. We have adapter cables (XLR>BNC for audio, BNC>1/4" Stereo for the TS3 slate) - any reason in your experience(s) that this will not work?

We just need to jam now and then, its not hyper critical that it is dead nuts accurate all the time - just trying to make life easier for post. Yeah, I know I know, dead nuts is what one wants in post. We'll try real hard.

Thanks!

Thank Stacey - please tell me I am not very clever, and its obviously labeled or explained somewhere?

Riiiight. Well, thanks for allowing me to be one of the 99% that cannot apparently RTFM. Very well, anyway. In fairness to my now damaged ego, one might expect such things to be labelled ON the cable.

Now for #2 and 3. Not quite as simple.

I keep meaning to label my cables. I am using a Denecke SB-T, but I have it plugged in the entire time for 3D work.

This is why I had a special one-way cable made for my SB-T, so it's just BNC -> Lemo (to camera). Works great. You can't get it wrong when it's just one cable.
