I have a fostex d10 which is controlable via rs422 with the time code board, but I do not go that rout any more I use my D9 deck and copy the audio via the serial digital output and run the timecode in from the dat to the D9 deck, you can use your ballance audio and timecode out to do the same. I allways have problem with fostex deck menue my pd2 is a nightmare but when I use it I carefuly read the manual and it works good luck.

I have been shooting video analog, digital and hd and we have come a long way. I also work as a Film Projectionist and seen a lot of film and even when it is shot hdcam 4444 or D5 when I look from the booth in one of AMC Lowes or National Amuisment multiplex I can tell if it is shot on film or vedeo film give you that feeling like “oh it is so buautiful breath taking” the movie that is shot on video hd or other look like watching a very large high quality TV set audio is no different film or video. I sat down on my day off to watch Miami Vice and I have no problem with the story line but the the video was horrible especially the night seen I know it is shot on video but film or video it should look beter Super man was a nother bad looking film. if you should shoot a movie on D1 which is the best SD format an bump it up to film it would look tereble on the big screen in the theater so would dvcam or d9.
I think we need to forget that idea about film look because film is different and video is lest expensive if we are going to shoot a video we should make it look good and do not worry about the film look, if you want the film look Please to shoot film there is no other way include the best software and hardware effect unit.
