Camera Timecode & Audio Connection

Camera Timecode & Audio Connection, list of different configurations.

Drawing from my experience on various shoots, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of cameras, each with its own technical specifics. One of the major challenges has often been integrating timecode along with an audio signal to ensure perfect synchronization in post-production.
