Re: Timecode out RS422

Right....I assumed that Gary was thinking I could get the 1200 to see the timecode from the RS422....if I use firewire as machine control I can figure out the offset and do the assemble edit. I was only using RS422 as control up until now.

Perhaps Gary just assumed I would use Firewire to get the timecode out to the deck, (he never mentioned it however) but with the Horita I could easily convert the timecode from the remote to a useable timecode to feed the deck's timecode input.

We have been taking HD P2 card files off hard drives and stringing them onto a timeline making sure that the timecode remained continuous from clip to clip, which it does. Then we want to output the timeline to a DVCProHD tape with matching timecode so the tape has an exact Timecode match to the files. we set the start time of the sequence with the first clip's timecode and we are all set.

If I go with Firewire as my output and machine control to the deck, and if the clips have a 23.98 timecode, should I drag the clips to a 29.97 sequence, or output the 23.98 right off the 23.98 sequence? I'm going to do a few tests today to see what the deck does with the 23.98 once it gets out to tape. But the P2 files definitely have a 23.98 timecode.

Thanks guys....let the testing begin (right after the Packers game).
