[Eran Hayden] “thoughts or suggestions anyone?”

If working with BetaSP sources, it’s best to capture with BetaSP color. It doesn’t mean you have to output BetaSP, but you should at least capture it BetaSP.

When you capture SDI, how do you capture (ie from what deck)?

The problem with using SMPTE EBU N10 is that when you calibrate and record with it, you are fine in your world but take that beta dub to the station and your chroma levels are going to be really low. You would be really lucky if you find a master control tape op that actually checks the levels on scope. They leave the deck in preset and dont check a waveform or vector scope and your spot is going to air with low chroma,
