  Timecode capture

  Posted by Tony Partam on September 28, 2005 at 12:10 pm

  How can i capture with decklink machine control by using the timecode on tape?
  Whatever i do i only get ctl which is of no use if i want to capture again.
  And it seems there are no options for Decklink machine control…
  I’m using DigiBeta DVW-500P

  Thanks for all

  I figured out that i had VITC on the deck and not LTC so i put timecode switch to LTC and i have the correct timecode now on Decklink deck control
  However once the clip is captured there’s no way to find out it’s timecode in Premiere pro…
  any ideas?

  Be shure you capture inside PremierePro!

  In your project window edit colums to show ‘Media Start’ ‘Media End’ ‘Media Duration’ ‘Capture Sttings’
  These are the timecodes of your original tape wich you have captured from Inpoint to Outpoint
  The colums ‘Inpoint’ ‘Outpoint’ are the In/Out points you can set in the player window for editing down to timeline.
  the ‘Capture Setting’ box shows if there is timecode information for rebatching the clips
  if the ‘Capture Settings’ box is not marked there is no timecode information
