  • seperate audio with dvx100b

    Posted by Tonyben on January 12, 2006 at 7:11 am

    We are using a Panasonic DVX-100b PAL camera.Sound will be recorded on the Fostex FR2 field hard disc and a mix sent by wireless to the cam on one channel
    Cam at 24P and audio 30 frames non drop frame at 48khz.
    W were hoping to use an Ambient Lockit box to sync pic and audio.
    Is this possible.What are other alternatives for keeping sync with sepetrate audio?

    A clapper board would be fine and sync up in post if this setup fails.

    I guess I’m a little behind the times when it comes to all these things.
    But from what you have said, I see big sync issues.

    Think about it….
    You are using a 25p PAL camera to record 24p
    and your audio is being recorded at 30fps NDF.

    ?????????

    Chris Price from Ambient has suggested an interesting solution and that is to use the Lockit box and input this to the spare audio channel.The FR2 field recorder would jam to the box and the audio TC could be used for post production.
    There is a new software from gallery http://www.gallery.co.uk called TIME TOOLS which can read TC on an audio track to arrange and sync up takes using Final Cut Pro.
    Any comment on this?

    Tony- you are aware the DVX100 PAL shoots 25p not 24p- correct?

    Are you shooting in the states or in Europe? If you are in the states, I am curious why you are shooting PAL. Is the resolution gain significant enough for all the workarounds you will need?
    Just curious…
