    HI All, (i posted this in an old thread as well)

    I am revisiting Sync configuration.

    I currently have A:

    -GRASS VALLEY SCB-200N
    -AJA GEN10
    -VIDEOTEK VDA 16A (da)

    We are moving our facility to a larger space and I would like to set the Reference and sync up properly. Yes, Bob we have sync hard wired up to our Betas, Digi betas, SR, D5, Network encoders (Pipeline, clipmail)and all.

    I ordered Red BNC cable to make brand new Reference only cables and again hoping to get pointed in the right direction for this project.

    According to what I read and to this post. I think I should design a dedicated patch-bay for Sync/ref only.

    Questions on connection:

    What should receive NTSC Black Burst and/or Tri-level sync?

    what about the gear that takes both an NTSC SD signal and an 1080i 59.94 HD signal?

    Should I normalize ALL SD/HD gear to the GRASS VALLEY SCB-200N NTSC black burst signal and manually patch the tri-level when needed like advised in this post? When exactly do I want to patch in the Tri-level?

    What should out TEKTRONIX WVR 7200 receive?

    Should the AJA GEN10 be normalized to anything in this design?

    We very rarely work in 23.98/24p its always in 29.97 or 59.94

    Thank you as always and looking forward to your response.

    Gear:

    -GRASS VALLEY SCB-200N
    -AJA GEN10
    -VIDEOTEK VDA 16A (da)

    Just taking a quick look at your equipment list, I don’t think that anything there will need (or take) Tri-Level sync. Just good old black burst.
