Jam Sync Time Code

[Gauranga]

I have a 3 camera live shoot coming up and I want to jam sync time code between 3 HMC150's. The instructions in the book are vague to say the least. Exactly what cable do I need to use (and in what port)? What settings?
Any/all help is appreciated. Thanks!

You use the the composite cable to sync TC

you can also do it in post, http://www.singularsoftware.com/autosync/

You just use any RCA cable and put it in the Yellow RCA port of each camera. In the Menu set the Timecode to Continues Run on each of your 3 cameras. I do not remember the Exact terminology used in the menus but it was pretty self explanatory to me once I started looking. basically you set one camera to master and the others to slave. Press the Counter button on the SLAVE camera and the Timecodes should now match. Then hook up your second SALVE camera and hit the Counter button on that one now all 3 will be sync'd ....

Are HPX170's jam syncable? We had a borrowed one and I tried to jam sync it with my HMC150 and could not find the option in the HPX's menue.

No, the 170 can sync through firewire but not to LTC. The 150 is actually more advanced in this respect.

Good news everyone! I've figured out a way to use two different watch / unwatched overlays so now I can add them to the text-based lists. Update soon!
