DVL-Digest 738 - Postings: Index Time Code Question Time Code Question - "Perry" Franklin posted: >I'm not sure I understand. I have a Sony DSR-40 which is DVCam. Are you saying there is a way to get the Betacam time-code into DVCam?< You need to understand how Timecode normally works. There is a timecode generator (TCG) on the recorder which is locked to the incoming video during record. The normal practice is to preset this TCG to the existing timecode on the tape before the record starts (it only needs a frame) so that it starts at the right timecode count. The better DVCAM decks have a facility to switch this start reference to an external TC source, either supplied via an analog TC input or stripped from the incoming video VITC. (note: they can often represent different TC counts on the same Betacam tape!) Your DSR-40 doesn't have such a facility, you need to go to the 'studio' decks to get it. The DSR-40 can only copy timecode that is on the iLink input and comes from a DVCAM source.
