New feature in build

[Jay A. Kelley]

I'm pretty sure this is in the new build, or if not it' coming soon (Stuart can confirm)

All those who use Cantars, or Sound Devices and such audio recorders will love this:

You can now use the TimeCode out to start your recorders REMOTELY. In the case of the Cantar, just set your Start by LTC setting. Set the RED to EDGECODE out and when you hit record, the sound recorder will fire up about 4 seconds later once it has confirmed sync.

I begged for this a while ago, and then forgot I even asked for it..

But not Stuart...

Cool new feature!

It is indeed in the release build 30.5.0 Jay.

Thanks for doing the validation testing for the function.

 

[Stephen Pruitt]

Interesting. We always start our sound recorders before our cameras, just so that audio will capture the video take when it's called out. I do like the sync feature, though.

Really handy for the Ki Pro and other SDI recorders with TC ARM recording... Great! Will test it on a shoot Tuesday.

 

[Jay A. Kelley]

Actually I only tested the TC out feature. Not the same feature on the HD-SDI out.

Stuart are they enabled in both?

Jay: Did you notice if lens data on Birger is functioning in this build?

 

[David Battistella]

Which output would we use if we wanted to record the RED TC output as an audio track?
(to track 2 of a zoom H4 for example?)

SDI out has been enabled for awhile...we use it on QTake to auto record video assist

From the email I got:

Just a BNC to "1/4 inch or XLR?

Sorry, what I meant to say is the HD-SDI out triggers Video recorders like QTake to automatically start recording video when the Red starts recording. It does this via the SDI output to the SDI input on AJA

I'm trying to tap an audio TC signal to go on track two of the H4?

No, it's embedded in the SDI video signal. You can use a Lemo to 1/4" or XLR from the analogue timecode port on the camera, though.
