Question for the BM tech guys

PostWed Dec 07, 2022 5:02 pm

I'm using the 5" 12G video assist to record BRAW over HDMI from the Zcam f6.
Problem is, it's not seeing either timecode or a record command from the camera.

Having used an atomos to record prores raw over, this problem didn't exist.


Would the problem lie on the side of the ZCAM or the BM video assist.

Seeing as you have not had an answer yet, for what it's worth, it is possible to trigger recording with timecode from a Nikon Z6II and the 5" 12G Video Assist with exactly the same settings on camera as with the Ninja V. On the VA you need to set Timecode Input to Video Input for this to work.

Doesn't work. VA is not seeing Timecode from the Zcam.
