Edirol R-4 Pro
I am thinking of getting an Edirol R-4 Pro to record audio with my JVC HD100 camera. I have two questions.
1. I know I can record 4 channels of audio, but can I mix them all down to one channel to send to the camera as reference? I want to be able to record the boom and three lavs to the Edirol and at the sametime send a mix of all four channels to the camera for reference. 2. What is the best way to sync timecode between my JVC and the Edirol? |

I thought I remember seeing a device that would take out of your camera and convert the timecode to LTC SMPTE to use with other devices. I did some searches and can't find anything, so maybe I am wrong.
The slate you are talking about would be synced to the R-4 and I would have to manualy sync my picture and sound. Correct? |

2) Another method...since the jvc100 doesn't have TC in or out for slavage...is to run both units at time of day TC, free run, non-drop frame. Start them running at the same time to get you in the ball park. The TC will be discontinuous, so you need to allow for extra pre-roll and post roll for the editing system. Before each take, send a reference tone from your mixer to be recorded on ALL tracks. A series of three beeps should give you enough to visually line the waveforms up on the Editing timeline for syncage. |
