You can put rendered files onto an EVS, but not all trucks have the needed software or codecs. And not all EVS ops are trained in the process. It definitely adds a layer of complexity that doesn't save you much in the end for a single show. Sports teams that travel for their own local broadcast use them all the time and saves a lot of time in the long run.

I would be very surprised (and dissapointed) if it was impossbible to put just rendered files on an EVS.(and, i would be afraid to capture with LTC if it's an older model, i have an (slightly educated) sense it won't be frame accurate always.)Bouke----- Original Message -----Sent: Monday, December 29, 2014 3:36 PMSubject: Re: [Avid-L2] OT: Does EVS systems capture time code on ingest?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.

Because of sports, most EVS are set up with TOD ext TC. So it ! should be an easy patch to take it from tape instead. I assume you're putting together an elements reel.Most EVS ops don't use timecode as a reference for funding clips, though. They use clips names or clip numbers.

I can't imagine an EVS system on a production truck that is capable of tape ingestion doesn't capture time code at the same time, but then I ! never know what quirks may be out there. 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
