AVID MC — TC window dub of Media File
Hey all,
I need to dub some media clips for a client to VHS from our Media Composer. I have captured them from beta and don’t want to do tape to tape window dubs. There are several clips and just need to reference TC on these specific clips. Is there a way to achieve this?

If your MC has a “timecode out” feature, just set your BSP to display T.C. (turn character display on), feed the video clips out to the BSP and record BSP video into the VHS. I do this regularly using our MC 9000 and a Sony PVW-2800.

Sorry, I am still fairly new at using Media Composer…I think my question is, how do I know if my MC has a “timecode out” feature? How do I access it/turn it on?

I can only tell you how it works on my system (MC9000 Meridian running vers. 11 software)… that said, on the back of the BOB (break out box that handles Video in and out), there is a XLR in/out that is labeled “LTC” (Longitudinal Time Code). This should give you timecode out of your timeline or off clips played in your source window.

OK…found it, nothing plugged in there…
Now my problem is, it is an XLR plug (LTC out), and the TC input on our PVW-2800 is a BNC. Can I just use an adapter? Do they make one for an Audio to Video type plug?

I think there are adapters available… though if your handy with a soldering iron, the XLR pin 2 is hot (bnc center conductor) and connect bnc shield to pins 1&3. This should give you what you need.
HTH,
Randy
