Using the Portacapture X8 on your productions just got a lot easier while also bringing a massive quality boost to the table.
PhotoJoseph shows us what 32-bit float audio recording is and how it can drastically improve the overall quality of production sound. In addition to that, he shows us how to use the X8's timecode function so that our video and audio are perfectly synced for quicker workflow and ease of editing.

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

@photronic Год назад

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?

Great video! Thank you.

@eight7sixjoe 8 месяцев назад

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

@TASCAMUSA 8 месяцев назад

Great question - at present, the Portacapture X8 will only sync timecode wirelessly with Atomos products.

Hello, really nice video! Would it be possible to use it with a Tentacle sync E using one of the line channels or microphone channels?

also, if you have the bluetooth adapter installed, can we sync over bluetooth with the Tentacle Sync 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.

@sammymorales6838 8 месяцев назад

Can this work with Tentacle Sync or Deity TC or any other TC Generator outside of Atomos?

@TASCAMUSA 8 месяцев назад

Currently, the timecode feature is only compatible with Atomos products.

Hello. Can TascamX8 connect with DeytiTC1 by timecode?

@TASCAMUSA Год назад

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

@danhillsonline 4 месяца назад

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.

@fourwheelerjock Год назад

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

@alan.macrae Год назад

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 Год назад

@@alan.macrae That would be nice. B&H says the deity will work with the x8 but they never specified how in their reply.

@erikpreston2393 Год назад

@@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. The scenario I'm likely going to be in is the following: 2-4 lavs hooked up to the X8, and onboard shotguns on an A/B cam. Really appreciate your help!

@motoobjektif 6 месяцев назад

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.

@TASCAMUSA 6 месяцев назад

Hello! Through firmware updates, we try to keep the language options as updated an relevant to as many people as possible!

@TimKaseyMythHealer Год назад

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 8 месяцев назад

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

@JMLRecording 8 месяцев назад

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.

Hello Alexanderthetitan! At present, the Portacapture X8 (when used in conjunction with the AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter) can sync timecode specifically with Atomos products.

@demarsman2 Год назад

@@TASCAMUSA would be better if it would sync with a tentacle sync, as that is widely used all over the world.

@frankbeissel Год назад

@@demarsman2 I would have to agree. A bit misleading in the months up to its release to tout timecode sync and only support one vendor. Fortunately, I can still use my Tentacle Sync when plugged into Port 1 or Port 2, but kind of defeats the purpose as I lose an onboard mic.

@toddpeterson5904 Год назад

@@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.
