Hi,
I seem to be having the exact same issue with our Media 100 HD system. When mastering a HD 1080 (25FPS) program to a Sony HDW M2000P HDCAM recorder, we are getting a 1 frame difference between the program and the mastered tape. Our program which begins at 00:01:30:00 in our timeline is being recorded to tape at 00:01:30:01. The vision and audio that is recorded appears to be in sync, it is just 1 frame later then it should be.
This is a rental deck and i didn’t have much time to trouble shoot this issue, but i was hoping if i ran through the settings i used maybe someone could check if my workflow is correct. This is the same work flow I previously used with our Media 100i XR system and Digital Betacam VTRs and we had no timecode problems at all.
– Video is connected via HD-SDI
– Audio is connected via Analog XLR
– Deck Control via RS-422 cable
– Audio output is synced to SDI 1
– I set both “LTC” and “VITC” to on
– I then set the TC generator to “Preset” and “Internal” whilst i manually record 10-20 seconds of black video to the start of tape (Starting at 00:00:00:00)
– I then set the TC generator back to “Regen” and “Internal”
– I then select in and out points in the timeline starting at 00:00:10:00 and finishing at the end of the program
– I then go to the “Master to tape” window and:
– Set “Assemble Edit” as the mode
– Set “Selection” as the range
– I then select “timecode” from the destination drop down menu and Media 100 then sets the Edit in to “00:00:10:00” and Edit Out to end of the program.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback that anyone can offer.
Thanks in Advance
