    Sorry, I was not being clear. I meant the Io or Kona’s composite out to the BG-50 input. Then connect one of the BG-50 outputs to the UVW-1800 Reference input (75 ohm switch in on position). There’s no need to change the 1800’s input to composite. Leave it set at Component and everything will work just fine. Lastly, I don’t see why B&H would not take the BG-50 in exchange for a BSG-50.

    I made exactly as you said and Eureka! It worked! It’s just that it worked with the Horita BG-50 turned off!!!
    Amazing! It’s working with the BG-50 turned on also. Interesting…

    You really never needed the BG-50 if you reference your 1800 to the Io or Kona’s composite output. If you take the BG-50 out and connect directly you will get the same results. If you still want a seperate source of reference I recommend that you trade in for the BSG-50. Then you can lock the Io/Kona and 1800 to a common reference.

    You can use the composite output of the AJA Io to feed the REF in on the Beta deck ONLY for output to tape. You cannot use this configuration to digitize from the tape. With no actual BB source, the Io locks to the output of the beta for capture. The composite output of the Io is locked to the input. You are in effect referencing the Beta to itself. This does not work.

    I’ve been doing just that for months with no problems on capture or output to tape.

    funny enough B&H has a warning in their system now if you try and buy the distributor and not the generator – i almost did the same thing

    I think the B&H warning is an answer to my annoying reclamation. They did not want to accept my BG-50. At least nobody will fall in the same error again.
