If the truck has two HDCAM decks, then a sync roll will work. Many trucks these days have one of each major tape formats, so hopefully the truck will have two HDCAM decks. With the tapes coming in synced, the EVS op can simultaneously create clips for the fill and matte.

Yes it's a playback reel with show elements for a live show. That would be one long clip into the EVS. Once in I assume the operators break things up into clips as you say. I'm making separate matte reels that are in sync with the foreground reel. I was told by the director last year that this allows them to ingest both tapes simultaneously so they save half the time by dual recording into the EVS. The tapes have matching time code so I don't know if it's the EVS that controls the decks or if they are just using Sony's sync roll capabilities to do this. Seems like not taking the anc time code in the video stream is kind of silly but I haven't driven those boxes so perhaps there is a reason not to.

They use clips names or clip numbers.On Sunday, December 28, 2014, John Moore bigfish@...

Can anyone confirm that time code is captured by EVS when capturing from an HDCam tape? I don't want them to have to postpone New Years if I'm wrong. ;-)John
