IronFilm Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 You're always keeping the HDMI cable attached the entire time? Are they both set to the same FPS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimor Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Yes and yes. I'm on free run mode if it's relevant... Thanks iron for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're sure you have the FPS set to exactly the same in both?? (none of these 24 vs 23.97 mistakes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're sure you have the FPS set to exactly the same in both?? (none of these 24 vs 23.97 mistakes) Thanks again, IronFilm. My configuration of both devices is the one that appears in the photographs. Now I have updated both mixpre (v7.14) and GH5s (v2.x) to the latest version and it seems that I only suffer from drop frames fron the beginning of jamming. 2 or 3 frames of delay currently, which seems to stay in time. So now I don't have that drifting so visible to the naked eye, but those lag frames make post syncing unfeasible. Now it occurs to me to try a new mini hdmi cable that is faster (2.0, 18gbps with ethernet?) To see if things improve. Also, I don't know how the drop frames function is activated in the camera, nor do I know what the Ubits of the sound devices are ... So I will continue to try things and listen to the advice you give me. People like you make this community so great. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimor Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Well, I just found the solution to my problem. The Drop Frame (DF) option on GH5 must be activated to compensate for the delay of the HDMI connection. The point is that I used PAL system frequency and under this frequency the DF cannot be activated. So you just have to switch to Cinema or NTSC frequency system to unleash that option.

Drop Frame (DF) only can be selected on NTSC (60hz) system frecuency. Usually I get the exact time, or only 1 frame dropped. About selecting frame rates on both devices, it seens not possible or necessary when using the hdmi protocol. Sound weird but is autodetected or always running/counting 25fps.

Grimor Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 It's a shame, because the camera is able to send and receive timecode continuously. This can be seen during the TC Link process (in and out) the TC operates continuously. Once it is paired, it starts working independently. It would be software fixable in an update if they had the will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
