Re: [FCP-L] Re: VITC Sucks

well,
Sony protocol gives you the option to ask the deck for specific TC.
From memory, that can be LTC, VITC, corrected TC, CTL and perhaps some other
stuff.
I don't think it would be a good idea to spit out something else than the
controller is asking for.

Subject: [FCP-L] Re: VITC Sucks

I would think that switching the TC reader to LTC instead of Auto (on the
deck) would spit out the LTC value over 422. It works like that at least
when I'm doing VTR to VTR editing with the 5500. I only have FCP and in the
device control settings I can choose between LTC, VITC, and LTC+VITC. I
switch this to LTC and it ignores the VITC. Can't say for sure about Avid
device controls but I'd be surprised if that weren't an option in there
somewhere...
