<div> </div><div>I am looking at purchasing an RS232 time-code device and a camcorder and need to know a little more about the signals used. I have computer / video support (at the University and from a vendor), but they want me to get answers to a few questions before we try a mock up and then purchase the equipment.</div>
<div> </div><div>1. Is RS232 still the way to go with E-Prime? (I see no mention of RS422 but one video equipment expert is telling me this is more common).</div><div> </div><div>2. Horita (one brand of time stamp device) uses Sony prototype and the vendor tells me that most time stamp devices will use this. He wants me to verify that E-Prime can accept Sony prototypes. Does anyone know or know how I can find out? E-Prime tech support told me they are swamped right now (when I asked about another issue) and this may also be an issue outside what they normally offer support for. (I'm also a little confused as to why he thinks E-Prime needs to accept the Sony prototype, so maybe someone can explain that to me, too??)</div>
