D800 + BMD Hyperdeck Shuttle Timecode Start/Stop???

[Greg Smet]

Hey guys!

Ive got a d800 and a BMD Hyperdeck Shuttle 2.

So Far I really like this combo!

The only thing I would really like to implement is a way to remotely start/stop record the BMD Shuttle without having to reach up to the record button on the unit.

I know that the new firmware will accepts start/stop flags via SDI and also will record if it sees timecode at all.

Is this feature usable while recording HDMI or does the video need to be SDI to be able to start/stop with timecode.


I made a little connector that is Din 1.0/2.3 to BNC to RCA to 3.5mm mini to the iPhone to generate timecode but this didnt work.

This may also be because this DIN 1.0/2.3 to BNC seems a bit loose.

Any help anyone?> Thanks!!!

Would something like this work to add timecode and hdmi to make SDI+TC?

Nope... That unit wont work. It has Genlock in not timecode in...

So the engineer at ThinkLogical (Very nice people) said an easy way to do this is to convert the HDMI to SDI, then you can add TC to the SDI

Anyone know of a box that can add TC to HD-SDI link?

Thanks

If you program the shutter button to start in Video mode,
all you need is a wireless remote.
