TC window from AJA Card!!! Did I miss this??

[Jeremy Garchow]

I won’t trash ya, but it’s been there for a while. It was there before timecode was officially supported in Quicktime. Nice huh?

Thanks Jeremy…I definitely missed it. I knew you could get TC from the QT file, but I MISSED this little FCP feature! What a time saver!

[Ron Thompson] “ODAY I just discovered that I can playback a realtime TC window from FCP!!! Am I an idiot??? Or was this in the recent upgrade and I just missed it?”

No comment….

it has been hidden since the 3.1 driver I think.
did you note that you can generate TC, use the QT code or change the TK burn in to show alternate frame rates ( rates from 24 – 60 fps are available)

guess what- there is a pref panel that can be accessed also….

the DS Keying function can be used to show a bug onscreen, as stills or motion…

Definitely cool feature. But mine seems to add 2 HOURS to the hour mark — but only when playing. During pause, the code is accurate. Anyone else get this? Or is there a setting somewhere I’m missing?

BTW, this is on a 720p 23.98 timeline with DVC PRO HD material.

Thanks in advance.

Best, JIM.

Okay, I spoke too soon. Now when I play, it just flips to an arbitrary code…not sure what’s going on…

Doesn’t seem to matter what settings I use on the Control Panel…

HAHAHA…wisenheimer! Yes I knew every and anything about the preference panel other than the fact that TC works with FCP!

Now that I know this, yes, I just discovered the alternate frame rate output which is cool. Thanks

Check the “use QT Timecode” box.

[Jim Blokland]

Hi Gary:

Yes, I’ve got the Use QT Timecode box checked, and the input set to RP188 LTC (if that matters). I should also mention that I’m using a Kona 2 with the latest greatest driver set, and I’m using Quicktime 7.3 with Tiger 10.4.11 and FCP 6.0.2.

Still doesn’t work properly when playing.

Any other ideas?

Best, JIM.

Now that I’ve over used this feature today (LOL….and a producer today said, wow! timecode, great!!) A follow up question is, can this signal be sent down a RS422 line?? or is it only a video output? Sadly I returned my rental too fast and couldn’t check.

Thanks

AS in send that to the deck for sequence timecode? I doubt it. I can check tomorrow. Have to do the ole tc match up manually I’d guess.
