- Scratch audio? Timecode? Camera hops? How does it all work?! This episode of Sound 101 features Andrew and Kevin going through everything you need to set up audio to send to your camera. Whether you want to use Comteks to set up scratch audio that you can then use to sync by waveform or timecode, or BOTH, this episode will help you get great audio on any set.
Sound mixers have a lot of options when it comes to sending audio to camera. Syncing audio in post can also be tricky sometimes. By following these steps, you will be sure to get the best audio possible and not have any audio out of sync. Using camera hops on set can be confusing but it doesn't need to be.
Let us know in the comments below if you have any other questions about wireless audio on set or how to send audio from your mixer to the camera!

Do you prefer using scratch audio or timecode?
Nice run-through on camera hops and timecode! Thanks!
Nice learning stuff here! And again, love your guest with the best first name ever. 😀
Always top practical and precise ! Thank you so much :)
Awesome content, so much value thank you Andrew great job
the banter between sound and camera department 😂
Awesome video. Thank you.
this is the exact video i needed, thank you!
An awesome video as per usual your content is always super engaging, fun, interesting & insightful. 😁 👌
Great video thank you so much
For a low cost Comtek system you might want to check out the WMS02 wireless digital in ear monitor audio system. Less than $90 from China on Ebay for a transmitter/receiver pair and additional receivers are about $40. They work in the 2.4GHz range and have around 40 different frequency channels. They sound good and work well at reasonable distances but not through walls. I paired mine with $40 Sennheiser HD 100 on ear headphones. This system provides a lot of bang for the buck for a starter Comtek system.
Thanks guys😉
Where i work, we prefer audio over timecode, because that's act as a backup as well
good one.
Another benefit of a scratch audio from your recorder to your camera is more exact audio alignments. Sound travels at about 1 ms per foot distance. If your camera is 40 feet from the sound source (talent) you get a 40 ms time offset. By having a recorder scratch track eliminates the offset when aligning waveforms. 40 ms might not sound like much, but with live music it becomes noticeable over time. Something is off, the beat is not quite in sync with the musicians.
So its 2020 at the time of the video made by a company that makes wireless audio products yet we see 1989 Comtek technology being demonstrated - mind blown. Those Comteks are poorly shielded from the type of RF that cameras are transmitting these days so they may not be ideal as a camera hop, ymmv. Not to mention (because you didn't) the very long antenna for that system and how fragile it may be in a bag set up. I'd also just mention the utility of sending the Main Mix (in mono), which should also contain the audible slate mic of the recorder, and is great for (voice slating obviously) notes to the editor and/or the possibility to send tone to the camera. For events, red carpets, OTF interviews or man-on-the-street ENG type stuff always keep a mic on the camera if possible when shooting sync sound.
Nice
When you have multiple audio sources (i.e. boom, lavs, etc) how do you fade (or not fade) between them all in post production to get the best sounding mix?
What do I need from Deity for a ch1/ch2 output from my field mixer to wireless hop to my camera with a stereo mini-jack input on Canon C200? Or alternatively to the XLR inputs on the camera. Was thinking BP-TRX and a Duo-RX? Can you buy this as a kit or buy the Duo by itself?
Hey guys, great videos as always! I actually have the same Comtek system and the F8 and they are amazing! Which cable was that on the Comtek receiver though? Also where can I buy one? Unless you did this one already, I would love to see a video on how to solder some SMA antennas to a G3/G4 system.
