The original defintion of SCC only supported drop frame and non drop frame 29.97 timecode/frame rate. A lot of modern software will look at the actual frame rate of the project, and combine the CC to be able to send it out over the same ‘second’ as the 29.97, so everything stays in sync. Not sure if Adobe does this, but that is why it is showing up as 29.97.

Hi John
You can try ccConvert that does that as well. Unfortunately, it is also end of life, but might be enough to do what you need. It will insert the captions as DTV/CC and SMPTE ANC stream from MCC.

Hi Todd
The split screen is because Avid puts the interlaced fields one after another, rather than the more normal interleaved, and VLC does handle this format.

videoQC supports a lot of old avid OMF/AAF/MXF/AVI files, and will deal with the fields correctly. You can download the free trial to make sure it works, and if it does, there is a converter built in to export a more modern MOV/MXF to work with.

Shane is exactly right. We have added quicktime reference file support to our MediaReactor Lite for Adobe plugins, if you need to read them for your workflow.

Hi Ben
They are real time metadata files, and probably worth keeping. The XML contains the static, one time per file metadata. The BIM file can keep metadata that changes over time (think timecode, userbits, lens info, gps location). I am not sure what the FS7 is filling in for this file, but you can bet it might come in handy in the future

You are right, as usual, about eye patterns and traditional scopes, but I think there is still a place for test and measurement. Eye patterns are replaced with network health monitors and wireshark. For the picture and sound, however, things are getting more complicated and harder to discern. New scopes then your Tek let you look at picture in 709 or 2020 to make sure the chromatic portion is what you expect. Newer waveform monitors support SDR, HDR (ST2084), HDR+, HLG and maybe even DolbyVision, allowing you to check you delieverables in terms of range but also to make sure the signal you think you are sending across youre network is what you think it is. Different loudness specs for different deliverables will also require checking. I think there will still be a place for scopes in the future, though probably as diminished fomr SDI to IP, as they were from analogue video to digital. ☺

The pocket ultrascope didn’t do eye, nor do any of the software scopes I have encountered. You need a tek/leader/omnitek for that, unfortunately. All the rest of the standard scopes you can get in software, using a USB 3 input device like the U-Tap.

Hi Tod
We have a product called ccConvert that converts VTT to SCC or MCC, but if you just need to do a couple, we have a server online you can currently use for free to do that translation:

We have https://www.mediareactor.ws for pure 64 bit encoding in CC 2017, or https://www.mr4qt.com if you want to emulate the old 32 bit Miraizon workflow.
