Can you output timecode with Final Cut?

[John Heagy] “Connect the KiPro to your ProTools machine, via RS 422, and put the KiPro in remote. The KiPro will slave to your ProTools timeline and output video via any of it’s many outputs.”

Just curious John, but have you tried this?

We’ve controlled a KiPro via RS-422 with FCP/Kona3 and a DaVinci 2K and it syncs first time every time. I also tried it with a Sony 9100 edit controller and while it cues, jogs and plays, it will not sync. This is not too surprising as Sony’s protocol is “to the letter” including command received timing and machine ballistics.

I have not tried it with ProTools, we use Fairlight.

I suppose I should revise my statement from “will slave” to “should slave”.

And perhaps the “not so easy button”? 😉

We’ve used the KiPro aka: the “Easy Button” to solve many file<>tape requests. It’s a perfect tape replacement in many cases and much less “virtual” than Gallery’s VirtualVTR. While syncing to a ProTools timeline may not be guaranteed, all Tim needs is a solid LTC output for the ProTools timeline to sync to. This the KiPro can definitely do.
