Black Burst Generators
Hello. Sorry if this is the wronf forum to ask this. I’m wondering if anyone can recommend a black burst generator with multiple outs for 2 computers with FCP 5.0. We are looking at Horita and an ESE. Trying to avoid paying an arm and a leg:) Thanks in advance for any advice.

Get the Horita, they have a long history of quality products and a good reputation.

Yep, Horita. BSG-50 is what you want. The BSG-50 not BG50, but BSG-50.

Lee,
I have a Sigma Electronics SS2100 BB Generator sitting around. (I picked up three of them at an auction. I’m using one for my FCP system. It has 3 outputs and works perfectly. Email me, I’ll let it go cheap. ernie.santella@comcast.net

Such questions prompt more questions for me.
Why do you think you need a burst gen? Is black the only signal you need?I do not know your background, Lee, but we get lots of inquiries about peripheral equipment that do not necessarily have anything to do with a particularly system’s needs.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

I’m an producer/editor that has in the last 2 years thanks in large part to people like yourself and the great people of the cow have learned a lot of the technical issues that involve FCP and the issues surrounding it.
It has always been my understanding that you need a reference signal to sync up audio and video. I assume it could be anything but black is the most popular??
We have had an issue for the past 2 years where my audio is 2 frames behind the video on output to beta and we run a third monitor for viewing that references the black for sync. It has been flickering a lot lately and I assume it will clear up with the new black burst as it does when I unplug our current one. The only trouble is the 3rd monitor rolls when our current BB generator is unplugged.
Thanks
