How do you send timecode from DVX-100-while recording.

Need to send timecode to a deck for audio sync

can you send it our the audio rca output?

on a related question, can the DVX control Pro Tools?

"EEE 1394 terminal for non-linear production with Synchro Lock Function
Equipped with an IEEE 1394-compliant 4-pin DV terminal that makes it easy to upload data
to a PC and dub onto a DV recorder. This terminal also features a new synchro lock function
that allows the AG-DVX100 to remotely start and stop an external DV device connected
to it via a DV cable, such as the AG-DV1DC portable mini-DV recorder."

Never used protools so I can't answer that. What the DVX can do is send firewire deck transport protocol across the cable, so if you have an external camera or deck hooked up to the firewire port, the DVX can tell it to start recording, pause, rewind, fast forward, etc.

If ProTools recognizes firewire transport protocol, then yes it should work.

The only way to get timecode out of the DVX is through the firewire port. Timecode on DV isn't recorded on the audio tracks, it's imbedded in the sub-code data track.

I was looking at this software:

it reads timecode from an audio input on the mac

is there anything i can buy to make it easy to record audio only on my laptop while recording with the dvx?
