HVX200 and Timecode DAT decks
hi all
we’re going into production on a feature in may and are starting to prep the camera and sound details
we get our camera in a couple of weeks so this is more of a preliminary inquiry
i understand that the HVX200 sends SMPTE timecode out of the firewire port, my question is is there a way to get that timecode signal in to a DAT recorder so that code can be matched in editorial? (there will always be a slate as a back up)
have any of you done this successfully?
i’m sure alot of this has to do with what type of recorder the sound guy uses, which i don’t know at this point, but if anyone has suggestions for gear that will work in this kind of set up then i’m all ears for that too
thanks in advance for your help

If you got $1000 laying around, Gallery makes a nice little program.
Using this workflow you use the DAT as the master clock, connect a cable from the TC out connector on the DAT and record that onto an audiotrack on the HVX-200.
When you have ingested all the footage and audio Gallerys TimeTools can sync the clips using the TC track from the DAT and the Audio track from the Video files. for wireless recording you can use a Smpte generator like the Aatons.
