  Blackburst generator for HD. Advice?

  Posted by Gautam Pandey on January 11, 2013 at 10:29 am

  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-DIMM

  FCP 7.0.3

  Blackmagic DeckLink HD Extreme
  Version 9.5.3

  Thanks guys!
