It's the deck.
Make sure your timecode generator is set to
Internal, Free Run and Not Rec Run and the last make sure you are set to Preset
and not Regen on your A500. Your LTC and VITC should now
match.

Subject: Layout To Tape
Okay, I know I'm noobin' out bad but I have a last
question. After all being an editor/compositor isn't my actual job, just
my passion :)
I have just laid my timeline to tape on a
pre-blacked tape in insert(auto) mode. Works beautifully (may add that
when I did this on FCP it gave me persistent errors till I laid it out with
bad timecode in frustration).
Question:
I saw on a spec sheet somewhere that the VITC and LTC
have to exactly match. I laid down to a SONY A500 deck. The LTC is
perfect, but when I use the jog wheel to check the tape, it temporarily shows
VITC and the time is offset by 5 minutes or so.
How can I ensure the LTC and VITC are identical? Is
this a Deck side change or on DS?
Thanks again all.
