Betacam tape digitized color is saturated and phase seems off

February 1, 2021 at 2:56 amHi I’m digitizing betacam tape
UVW-1800>FORa FA-370 TBC>BM Terranec 3>IMac>Premier Pro
through thunderbolt 3. I’m getting saturated color and the phase if off. I think it may be settings in the FORa. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

February 1, 2021 at 6:15 pmThe UVW-1800 has a TBC built into it. Take the ForA out of the equation ! You don’t need it.
As for your levels (saturated color, phase is off) if you don’t have scopes, you can’t make any adjustments.

February 1, 2021 at 11:23 pmThanks Bob for your expeditious advice. I’ll try taking the TBC out of the equation.
Best,

February 4, 2021 at 3:24 amSo I get the same results after taking the TBC out of the equation. Also for some reason my Terranec 3D doesn’t show it sees the sync. Any reason it might not see sync? I have it assigned to ext sync.
I’ve installed a tek 1750A waveform/vectorscope to work out these bugs. Any advice?
