Very cool new item for sound...

Yep, pedro.

We have that stuff here too, from a company called The Film Group. The problem for most people is that this equipment (PC sync cables, pilotone converters) that TFG sells is only really usefull if you have the correct editing equipment to make it all useful. Most people don't have the stuff (4-gand syncs, resolvers, mag-stock recorders, complex editing benches with motorized rewinds) to make TFG's products really useful...

Gotta' run...

I shot a short film on Super 8, & Single 8, neither camera had crystal sync, so I recorded sound on a Nagra, trasferred this to CD, and edited on Media 100 (Film telecine to DV), syncing during the edit was a pain, but worked due to the flexibility of media 100 i.e. slowing or speeding the frame rate to match the sound. Results were fine, but next time, I want a better way.
