Hops and Timecode

Today I'm out near Harrisburg PA filming farmhouses. The bag setup is typical of most of the reality shows I work on. Three wireless on the cast, sync boxes for cameras, and for this production we are using lectro r1as to feed the camera as well as producer headsets. The R1a are the best ifb systems that I've used. This setup is nice because you can use a single transmitter to feed cameras and producer headsets. I come out of the X1 output on the 664 line level, the transmitter is set to ifb mode. The receivers on the camera are set to max level so there is no confusion if the knob gets bumped, and production can adjust their levels individually.
