Ok so, basicly when color bar-ing on any camera, i always try to hit exactly 00:01:00:00, Any of you guys try to hit a certain number?

I have gotten Exactly 1Min on a Sony PD170, only because it will roll back the time it took to stop the tape.
 
I get impatient after about twenty seconds... so I'm lucky to ever make it to 30... much less a full minute!
 
You don't really need that much bars at the head of a digital tape. Unlike analog, you can pause digital without sacrificing the usability of bars. Seems like a lot of tape to waste.
 
first on a tape based I try for 30 sec even I've gonten it a couple times..but


with the HVX and P2 cards theres no dorp outs to be worried about. and I only run bars if I know I'm down converting to Digibeta or beta... (so the Enginers can say yep your singal is off... Can you fix it I ask ...This is the best we can do...)

but since I've only done that 3 times since febuary I miss the Color bars game...
