HVX Timecode
“SMPTE timecode reader/generator with timecode matching with multiple cameras via IEEE 1394”
Does anyone know of a portable IEEE 1394 timecode generator to Jam the timecode for multiple cameras or for double system sound?

Well, the camera that does it is pretty portable 🙂

It certainly is portable and makes a great $6,000 time code generator, however
1. Set the shot up with lights, flags, jib and no DP on earth is going to let you use it to jam sync a slate or recorder.
2. Set up 9 cameras to cover a rock concert and no operator is going to climb off the stage with his steadycam to jam a jib camera that suddenly needs to be reset.

I see what you are talking about. I wonder if you jam sync a few HVX and need to change the batteries if you need to re jam sync it or if it will continue with the correct TC after you drop a new bat in.

Does the timecode change with battery changes, that is the question. As soon as our first HVX comes in we will check this out. Doing double system sound we find that jam sync is good for about 6 hours, however we try to re-jam the sync after 4 hours.
What I’m actually looking for is a slate with a firewire out on the timecode generator.
