Synchronizing MoCap and video in post-process: which timecode format?

[Ben van Basten]

Hello,

I have a question regarding synchronization of motion capture data and video (and other analog data) in a post-processing step.

Preferably, I would like to add a continuous timecode signal to both MoCap and video data, such that we can easily determine the temporal correspondence offline.

I have two questions:

- There are many timecode formats (SMTPE, VITC, LTC)... which formats are commonly used in biomechanics?

- Does anyone know external proprietary timecode-generating devices (perhaps from the imaging-industry) that can be used?


Regards.

Ben

Dear Ben,

we used Horita in the past, which I presume could help you solve your problem: https://horita.com/video-audio-test-...tion-equipment
