Tascam we need native timecode that works with deity or tentacle devices.

Yeah, or just even a sync input to jam, or for continuous. Many manufacturers seem to think we'll just use whatever they narrowly accommodate, as if we'd simply dump the other real-world devices we use on major sets. I came here to see if this could be an additional recorder for me in smaller rig configs, and the TC seems to be the dealbreaker. Yeah, researched more, and they are obviously in bed with Atomos, where their only sync is via BT, and Atomos only. Really silly. I bet they will lose thousands of sales. Maybe there's a hack?

Are we stuck with Atomos time code only?

I'm wondering this as well. I dont own a atomos and I'm wondering if the deity TC1 will work but I have found nothing on it...

Great video! Thank you.

can this be synced using timecode over bluetooth using Tentacle Syc E?

I have the older DR40, it was a workhorse for filmmaking and music. I almost purchased this x8, but reading the comments I really need timecode to work with tentacles or deity. I may have to get a sound devices premix 6 ii. I don't use atomos products.

Such a great recorder. Sadly I won't and can't use it as it seems to be only capable of being used with atomos... If it could be used with deity TCG1 or Sync E id buy it in a heart beat... Would be nice to see. Award line port as well

From what I'm seeing, you could feed a Deity TC-1 into one of the audio inputs enabling the use of those for syncing. I agree with what you said about the 'relationship' with Atomos. I use a BMD Video Assist 12G and multiple Nikon mirrorless cameras and want to sync that all together. I think doing this might work.

@@fourwheelerjock Yeah, as much as I am intrigued by the Deity ecosystem, this could be the way to go. So, what's your workflow using both devices? That would be helpful.

When will trascam provide a 32bit float device with 4 xlr inputs with usb c charging and built in time code for jam sync?

Hello. I bought one of these wonderful portable recorders for myself. It's really perfect. I have used different brands before. But this is a really great thing, but I had a hard time at first because it did not support my country's language. Can a language support be added within our country for Türkiye? this would be perfect. thanks.

Hello. Can TascamX8 connect with DeytiTC1 by timecode?

Hello! The Portacapture X8 timecode feature is only compatible with Atomos AtomX SYNC / UltraSync BLUE supported devices.

If there is anyway to sync time code with a fx3 or any Bluetooth camera without all these devices would be so much easier. Why is the Atomos the only devices you can get time code from the recorder.

Major issue with the way TASCAM is discussing 32 bit float point. The most important thing for me is knowing 32 bit float point is available on all channels. Can you record on all 8 channels at 32 bit, or does TASCAM truncate like many recorders do? Why not give this information in your video! Also, does the 6 channel unit record 32 bit on all channels, or just two?

@TASCAMUSA

7 ай бұрын

Hello! Yes, on both Portacapture units all recordable channels will be captured in 32-bit float simultaneously.

No one ever shows how to mount the damn Ultrasync One to a camera.

think All new recorders even these worth 1 day work will be 32bit float

@@TASCAMUSA This should really work with Tentacle and Deity TCG's via bluetooth. I understand you did a deal with Atomos, but hopefully that exclusivity ends soon. There are a lot of other great options out there. Atomos is new to timecode, so this is quite limiting at the moment.

listen how loud the preamps are as soon as he hit the record button. I bought on e and am horrified at how noisy these pre's are... rendering it useless to me in a professional environment. Just cause it does 32bit float don't mean my boat does. This one is a fail for me.
