JVC vs Sony timecode issues
anyone else shoot on your HD100 and then try and play out of a sony deck/camera only to find it wont read timecode? I have been running into this for a while now, and was told by tech that its just that the two brands dont play well together. I really would like a fix though.

It's just the nature of the beast. The two formats are not compatible with each other. It would be nice if someone (ahem) made a deck that played both formats. If you shoot HDV1 (720p) use the JVC deck or your cam. If you shoot HDV2 (1080i) then the sony.

so it plays it just fine, but you get no timecode at all on capture?

By the way, although Sony and JVC arrived at a single marketing name (HDV) at the tape level there are major differences between the two formats. For example, HD1 does NOT write into the area on DV tape reserved for PCM audio. In theory, 2-channels of PCM audio could be added to ProHD. (In fact, one test channel was implemented in the HD100.) Who knows, there might be two now! JVC found the software folks were not keen to support this feature. HD2 uses the entire area Video + PCM track area. The other difference: HD1 is ready-to-broadcast 720p. It IS an ATSC legal stream -- even for 24p. HD2 is recorded not as M2T, but as PES. JVC has used generic MPEG-2 all the way. They just gave it a nice marketing name. One of the Avid lists is still trying to figure out Canons two types of 24p and Sony's two types of 24p and how to play them back.

sorry, I should have mentioned that none of this was shot in HD. it was all shot in standard def. you would think standard def would play out in any and all decks WITH timecode.

if you shot that on DV it should read in every DV playback device out
there unless it was recorded in LP mode. Last edited by Mark Silva; July 3rd, 2008 at 01:33 PM. |

is there even an option to record in LP mode on the HD100? I have never seen it. but if there is, I am pretty sure that I wasnt recording in it, I had a 63 minute tape, and was only able to shoot 63 minutes.
so if you think that it should be fine in DV mode. then obviously there is a problem that needs to be addressed. |

no option for LP mode, but standard SP mode should not be a problem.
