Workflow w/ Teranex Question

[Gary Adcock]

[Mike Most] “Well, if you can actually get that to work, I’d like to know about it, because I think you’re still missing the point.”

I second that. you cannot just “remove” frames without drastic consequences during playback.[Mike Most] “I’m perfectly willing to be proven wrong. But I don’t think I am.”

I don’t think you are either mike…

hi again

I am stayimng with this thread as we are at this “juncture” where we have to mix formats and such.
we shoot our own stuff ,and waht we have been doing is shooting HDV 1080i, but frameing 4×3 and protecting 16×9 ie relevant subject matter falls into a 4×3 section of the HDV 16×9 frame, but we keep clear the whole 16×9 frame. so the footage can still be used as 16×9 down the road. we are currently posting everything either 4×3 or 16×9 anamorphic on 4×3. (basically cuz its a lot slower to post HDV or even DVCproHD)

“in thinking about this some more, I believe what you’re really trying to do is convert 60i material, with its 60i time code, to 24 frame material, with 23.98 time code that “matches” the original 60i code (at least at even seconds, with the “0” and “5” conventions applied for 3:2 cadence) in one pass. This is not going to happen through a Teranex or any other converter because they don’t convert time code”

Evertz time code generators convert on the fly. they are used to generate 29.97 tc dubs off of 23.98 material and so on

i am not sure if they work via rs 422, but you can dub a 24 TC tape to 29 by running tc through the Evertz. You have to use a specific model, however as not all the units do it.

hope this helps

This thread was about the reverse of that, i.e., making 24 out of 60i, which is far more problematic.
