I don't understand why trilevel sync would apply when only jamming once the
tc from the 744T to the camera running freerun - not using a lockit.

I understood that trilevelsync must be used when you run the camera on
external TC (like when using a Lockit), because it might conflict with the
camera internal sync as 2 different crystals will be used.

But once you've jammed the 744t's TC to the camera it runs on its own from
the same crystal, so we shouldn't have to worry wether the HD def is 1028i
or 720p or anything as long as we've set the correct tc frame rate on both
the cam and recorder (in my case 25 fps PAL).

Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks

FredS

Hello Fred,

If you are just using one camera and the 744 there is no need for tri-
level or "beginning of frame genlock." If I can, I hard wire or send
continous tc. If I am in a situation jam syncing from a camera's
clock, I just make sure to re jam about every ten minutes.

The use of tri level or "HD genlock" in multi camera shoots is a
different issue and there is still no standard practice in that arena.

These issues illustrate the need for upfront communication on
workflow. If you have not, Check out Wolf Seeburg's books
