Probably.
 
My friend and I are editing a film between our two Avids. He is trying to use a Panasonic PV-GS9 as a deck for his Avid Xpress Pro HD. The 24PA footage play out via Firewire but does not show timecode. I know there is timecode on the tape but it will not read it.

As an experiment, I tried recording some standard (30i) footage on one of the tapes and the camera created timecode no problem. Also, that timecode was readable with Avid.

So does anybody know of any tricks to get this camera to display the previously recorded 24PA timecode? Perhaps an update to the camera's firmware?

Thanks,

as a genral rule. i dont think that any of the panasonic GS series of cameras will read the DVX timecode. you can have the cameras display timecode by changing the menu settings for display , they will generate their own timecode, but will not read it from a tape recorded in the DVX. for this reason , when it was still available alot of people buoght the pani PV-DV103 or other PV-DV series cams.. they all seem to work fine with the DVX timecode and also have a compatable battery and charger.. as should all pannies casue they use the same battery type. anyway.. im not sure whats available now, but just lettibng you know that I believe its the entire GS series that will not work with DVX timecode.
 
I had no luck with the GS-9. DVX tiemcode doesn't come through so even though you can capture without timecode it wasn't worth it. Sony TRV cameras seem to work fine reading the DVX timecode.
