There's a difference - from what I can see - between the time code used by DV Sport and the time code generated by replay machines in the production truck.

In the production truck (or an edit room), the time code will slow down/speed up relative to the speed at which the clip is playing unless the clip itself is altered. In other words, if I play the unaltered clip at 50% speed the time code will count at half-speed. DV Sport's equipment - at least in this case - showed the time code relative to how long the clip actually played, regardless of the speed of the clip involved. That's why I mentioned earlier the idea of having a TV person watch the video with the officials. I would've picked up on the speed/counter aspect because I work with editing equipment. Someone else wouldn't because it that isn't something in their heads.

Right. But from this memo, it seems that neither are allowed to be used...

As I thought, we can't use time codes generated from the TV production truck.

Okay, but what about the digital stopwatch that is part of the DV sports equipment?

W need to use the separate digital stopwatch that is at the table. Period.

From June today:

"In reference to the revised interpretation on the use of digital stop watch to make your decision on timing issues, officials are permitted by rule and mechanics to gather information from the table crew, play by play, stand-by official, and any information that the replay system can provide to aid in making a decision related to the potential timing mistake.

In the end, the final decision must be based on the information provided by the timer’s digital stopwatch.

If you have any questions please email me at (___).
