I asked specifically if the two tapes were needed for a sync roll into the EVS or whatever switcher server there might be and he said it was for EVS simul roll during ingest. When I ask a specific question and get a specific answer that is what I have to follow in this case. It's good to know in the future that I can get more specific on the details now that I'm more aware. I would imagine the director knows this from past experience he has had. Could it be that it is faster or more bullet proof to do the simul roll on ingest? I didn't have sync X's but everything matched up at even minutes and 20 second intervals on the 00 frames. I would assume, but will ask here, when the EVS ingests a tape does it capture the time code on the tape with the file so all my graphics built on even NonDrop minutes and 20 second intervals could be assessed and utilized with the ingested file? I'd sure be surprised if EVS doesn't maintain time code from the source given it's compatibility with Avid and other NLE's but just want to make sure.
