Hi all,

I'm trying to sync the time codes on a 500 and 170 via firewire and I'm having no success. I'm following the steps outlined in the HPX/HVX book and I get the 170 into 1394TC In mode, but when I press the TC button nothing happens.

What do I need to do to get TC out of the 500 via firewire?

You can't have the 500 in pN mode, for one thing. And they both have to be in the same recording format, so choose any DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, or 1080 DVCPRO-HD mode, and you should be able to sync them. Make sure both cameras are set to the same, and neither one is set to 720pN.
 
Barry,

I didn't have them on the same format, one was on 480/60i and the other 480/30p, as soon as I fixed that, presto....

Thanks!
~Mike
