[SML] Educational sources on time code and sync

[Ford Sellers]

Michael,
John Huntington is right down the street from you, at CUNY.
He is probably one of the single best human references.
He has a huge brain.
Maybe see if he has time for lunch.
Check out controlgeek.net, or email him directly at JHuntington at citytech.cuny.edu<mailto:JHuntington at citytech.cuny.edu>.

I know that he frequents the show control mailing list that Charlie Richmond started, too…

Subject: [SML] Educational sources on time code and sync

Hi folks,

Last fall I started a position at a certain famous large theater in NYC that nicely combines my experience with IT, theater, and show control.

So far, so good. But there's one area I definitely have a weakness in; timecode and other syncing technologies. I know/have used basic MTC and LTC, but here we have an almost broadcast-worthy system with Evertz and distripalyzers and auto-changeovers, and talk about tri-level sync and burst and word clock and... all this stuff that is a world I've never dealt with, and seems to cross disciplines (video uses one kind of sync, audio a different kind of sync, etc).

It's not exactly a topic with best sellers on Amazon, so I'm searching around fo any sources out there that I can use to get a better handle on this. What does what, how do you combine, what cables do you use, etc.

Suggestions?

Thanks!
Michael S.
