  • Live LTC into FCP through AJA io HD

    Posted by Curtis Edge on February 14, 2008 at 11:54 pm

    Does FCP capture LTC from AJA io HD? I have captured a number of live sporting events using the AJA io HD and FCP 6. I have yet to be able to capture Timecode. I have to select uncontrollable device, because my source is a live feed from a HD TV truck. Can any one tell me how to do this, or is it true that FCP cannot capture LTC?

    [Curtis Edge] “is it true that FCP cannot capture LTC?”

    correct.

    you have to use VTR xchange and set the LTC setting in the control panel

    There is a device available that will convert LTC into RS-232 timecode. Sorry, but I forget what it’s called or who makes it. It’s been mentioned here on a Cow a few times.

    VTR exchange will do this for free.

    I will try the VTR exchange, but for some reason i don’t think it will work with a live feed. I purchased one of the U-Boxes, so either way I should finally be able to get Timecode.

    Thanks for your help

    From what I was reading, it seemd that VTR Emulation was used for capture from cameras. I will try it, but want the U-Box just in case
