  • GPS as Time of day Code

    Hello all,

    I agree with the other posters that the tutorial by Jeremy was enlightening and really made us here at Axis think about the power of prepping the original P2 media metadat prior to ingest.

    How they are going to get that to work with AVC Intra will be interesting.

    In the Metadata array I saw three fields empty in the GPS DATA area.

    Is there a GPS unit that goes into the camera that could spit out time of day ( probably GMT )??

    Could it be captured into say the elevation field so you could use it to jam multicam outdoor – think sport coverage???????????

    How powerful would that be as opposed to clockits or deneke etc!!!

    Thinking caps on now!!

    Best

    I’m not sure the GPS function is going to be implemented- might be wrong though.

    There are separate GPS units available for some camera. The HPX2000 can support it, as can the 3000. Other than that, I am not sure.

    *Edit* as far as tod tc, why would you need that? Just curious. If you have lat, long and altitude as metadata, why do you need the tod tc? *End Edit*

    Cool eh?

    Glad you liked the tutorial. The next one will deal with AVC-I and I encourage you to please please please send feedback to Apple and request them to enable rt encoding and decoding of Panasonic’s AVc-I codec like they have for DVCPro HD. It would help a ton.
