Activity Forums Canon Cameras Slave Timecode for XL2

  • Slave Timecode for XL2

    Posted by Mkbpike on October 31, 2005 at 5:48 pm

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? I have tried to follow the Canon guide by using Free Run Timecode method, with the secondary XL2’s DV Control off like the book says, but we cannot get the camera’s to recognize each others timecode. One will start and stop both devices, but the timecodes are not consistent. Any help would be greatly appreciated?

    Thanks,

    Michael

    I found an article at dvinfo.net. describing how they accomplished it. Although a good one, I found it missing a few points of information to complete the puzzle and plan to contact them direct. It does seem as though they have it figured out. I too like you, have a couple of XL2’s and want to do this, but have found the Canon camera manual explanation completely inadequate. Good hunting.
