Tomas Stacewicz Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I use the original pilot signal from the camera and a laptop to record sound. Could you describe this a litte bit further? I am curious how pull this off? Can your laptop recognize the pilot tone? What program do you use, and is it a PC or a Mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What program do you use, and is it a PC or a Mac? Hej Tomas, i made a small program in linux that reads the parallel port and start recording sound when it receives the starting pulse from the camera pilot and stops when the pulse comes up again. there's a trick though with the voltages though. the kinor gives 10V and thhis would blow up the parallel port. I then bought a cheap remote control car on ebay and use the radio controler to make the camera/laptop transmission wireless. I can send you all the specs if you want. It does not require major knowledge (just some) in electronics. I am now trying to make the computer also to record the oscillatory output of the camera (that tells the frame rate). With that I can adjust the sound accordingly to the frame rate. Hej da. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hej da. that sounds rather impressive. id love to check out the specs if you can email them or pm me? cheers m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds interesting. Hej då ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
