23,98 fps going out of sync
Hi,
I did a shoot last week in the US using my Zoom F8, and the camera was a Sony A7S II.
We did some test at home in 29,97fps and it worked fine.
Unfortunately, the camera operator decided, on day1, to shoot in 24fps. So I’ve set my Zoom F8 recorder to 23,98ND and my tentaclesync E to 23,98 FPS, set the audio level to MIC, waited for the led to go green and…
Once’s in Tentacle Studio everything is going out of sync…sometimes it is okay in the beginning but progressively goes out of sync.
It reads the Audio LTC of the camera but it has sometimes a 30minutes offset with my audio timecode…
The real framerate of the camera is 23,98 but it’s internal timecode is apparently 24fps.
What was my mistake? 23,97 instead of 24fps?
Why is everything going out of sync?
Thanks
I’m having a similar issue. Haven’t had enough time to fully test yet though. Do you jam sync your F8 using a tentacle then plug it back into your A7SII? I’m wondering if the tentacle sync has an issue switching from line to mic output and is causing it to throw off the count? So far I can’t get a perfect sync between my F4 and two tentacle units on a GH5 and an XT3.
