Do I need a blackburst generator

[Bob Zelin]

Good evening Mr. Pom Boarder –
This is what you are going to do this weekend. I have decided, that even if you have no food to eat for the next week, and you have to go into the streets to beg to feed your family, you will either go onto a mail order site (like http://www.bhphotovideo.com, or http://www.markertek.com), or go onto EBAY, and you are going to BUY A BLACK GENERATOR. Yes, you are going to do this. And your problems will be all gone. And you, just like the United Nations, will bring peace to this forum, by the simple purchase of a black generator. You will be happy, your edit system will be happy, and we will be happy.

OK, Mr. Pom Boarder – type with me – http://www.ebay.com ………….

>Do I need blackburst for a digi-beta dub?
YES, absolutely yes.

>and how come a blackburst isn’t always needed?
it is always needed… unless you have 2 vhs decks connected with rca cables.

For future reference, power supplies for Aja converters are listed in the accessories tab under the product description at B&H. They are labeled “this item is required” in red letters. We do miss a power supply here and there but its not always easy to keep tabs on over 250,000 items 🙂
