Re: Eclair Cameras: Timecode with ACL

[ecasey@canada.com]

Eclair offered an in-camera timecode option for the ACL at one time. At 
least I once saw an Eclair ad in an old American Cinematographer for an 
EBU time code option which seemed like it involved  the use of a special 
mag. I've never seen one or heard of any being used.  Even if you 
managed to find one I suspect  it wouldn't be of much use. Even the 
versions of time code offered by Arriflex and Aaton are incompatible so 
it is unlikely anyone post house would support the Eclair system.  The 
method Hans suggested is probably the most common way to shoot with time 
code even when using Arri and Aaton cameras.  Aaton code and arricode 
allows you to shoot without a slate (which very few people do as far as 
I know). There are also  advantages in syncing during telecine 
(Instasync), magless dailies and matchback with properly equipped 
facilities but its not indispensable.
