Blackburst generator for HD. Advice?
Hi,
Recently while trying to output a HD project onto HDCAM I needed to use print to tape to be frame accurate. As it turned out kept dropping audio every few seconds. I am using the HDW D1800 Deck – https://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/product-HDWD1800/
Went through the manual of the deck and couldn’t really find anything
Google’d it… Found that I need to give a ref through a blackburst generator
Found these options for generators-
a Horita blackburst generator https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/108433-REG/Horita_BG50_BG_50_Black_Bu...
and a Blackmagic one https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/558912-REG/Blackmagic_Design_CONVMSYN...
Just as I’m begining to feel good I find this post https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/124/871960#871960
Now I’m confused, Is the camera solution just a workaround?
Also the product specs of the generators show they generate a SD blackburst, Is that good enough for a ref for a HD project?
My system specs are –
Mac OS X
Version 10.6.3
Processor 2 x 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 6 GB 667MHZ DDR2 FB-DIMMFCP 7.0.3
Blackmagic DeckLink HD Extreme
Version 9.5.3Thanks guys!
