Hopefully Panasonic will incorporate the ability to embed time code from the 3.5mm jack in the same way as the BMPCCs. Hopefully there’s enough internal bandwidth to make that work. But in the mean time, this approach can certainly get the job done.

Thanks for this. Pretty good to know 🙂

Hi there, I have the same questions as @fotografioso77 asked before, and also
1) If I connect the Panasonic DMW-XLR1 XLR Microphone Adaptor in S5IIX's hotshoe (which allows the recording of 4 audio channels at once with .mov), what is the ideal setup to get a 3rd channel from a mixer and the 4th to dedicate it for LTC signal?
2) Can we disable the scratch audio from the internal TC-1 omni mic, to free up the other stereo channel for an incoming 3rd channel as described above?
3) Using Tascam X8 as the mixer/external recorder with a TC-1 connected to the X8's EXT port plugged in during the entire shooting, how I can get its mixed signal output as the 3rd channel described above? Do I need to split the S5IIX's 3.5mm input with a 2-channel stereo splitter cable, to allow TC-1 to insert the LTC into the 4th channel?
I will feed the Panasonic DMW-XLR1 from Theos DBTX with the XLR in both L/R channels.
4) Apart from 2* TC-1 constantly connected to Tascam X8 & the S5IIX for timecode data, do I need to connect somehow the 3rc TC-1 unit into the D2RX (via headphone port?) to make this setup work, apart from the initial wireless jam?
5) Is it possible for this specific setup of Tascam X8, Deity Theos D2RX + 2*DBTX to work with only one TC-1 unit, after the initial wireless jam and then connect it to X8 for syncing the other mic inputs during the entire shooting? I assume it is possible because the 2 of 4 channels of S5IIX recorded video will already have time synced with the first 2 channels of D2RX -> 2* XLRs of the DMW-XLR1.
I hope that all makes sense and excuse me for my newbie questions, but I am quite new to mirrorless shooting with timesync audio.
Thank you and keep up the good work Deity guys!

Hi there. Two questions remain for me:
1. Do you leave the limiter on? Wouldn’t that lead to a reduction in volume of the LTC signal when the other channel receives very loud noise?
2. Should I use DF or non DF timecode for the LUMIX? When I input files into DaVinci Resolve the clips show up as DF. I am however not sure if this is due to my in camera TC settings.

y si quiero usar junto a los deity Theos UHF como se hace para usar el puerto 3.5??

[@DeityMicrophones]

Not really possible since this camera is very limited on it's timecode inputs.
