Syncing BMMCC and Blackmagic Sync Generator

PostSat Oct 01, 2016 12:48 am

Hi

I'm shutter syncing 6 BMMCC using the Blackmagic Mini Convertor Sync Generator. But, I want the cameras shooting at 29.97 fps and the mini convertor only does 59.94p, 50p, 23.989 and 24p.

any suggestions?

thanks

josh

Not an ideal suggestion by any means, but if you run out of options, shoot 59.94 fps in raw 360 degree shutter angle and throw away the odd numbered frames?

The Sync Generator does 29.97
There are more settings possible than printed onto the device itself. You can find the details in the manual.
Saying "Thx for help!" is not a crime.
