Turn off TBC?
Can the TBC be turned off on a Sony UVW 1800?

It won’t play back without the TBC, so why would you want to turn it off?
I have never seen anything that would allow it to be turned off because, again I ask, why would you want to?Charlie

So I can syc for monitoring. I monitor more than I layback.
If anyone has a manual and would be so kind as to see if tbc can be turned of through the menu, I would still appreciate it. -
You need to be very SPECIFIC as to what you want to do and WHY, so we can be more helpful.
No reason to turn off the TBC (bad idea).
I’m guessing you don’t want the image to “roll-down” (lock to incoming sync).
Unplug the sync and video inputs on the back and the deck will revert to internal sync.
Or you can feed it black burst (or any kind of steady video, like a capped camcorder) and the image will not “roll-down”.

The bvw 75 betacam series deck had the capability to turn of the TBC which was primarily used to remove the image roll down when recording a non genlocked signal.

I went thru the menu on my UVW1800, and find nothing concerning turning the TBC on or off. If it was capable it would be a menu item. If you wnat it to lock to itself, you might try taking one composite video output and looping it into the reference in. That is the only workaround I can think of according to what you might be trying to do.

Yes that’s what I was wondering if the uvw would do.
Except recording is fine. I just want to sync while monitoring out from a Decklink SP card to an NTSC monitor without buying a $400 AJA SDI to composite i/o.
I used to do this with a PVW 2700 and it worked great without spending the xtra cash.Thanks for everyones input.

Don’t go “through” the tape deck if you just want to monitor the Decklink.
Switch the Decklink’s output directly to the monitor’s input.

If it were that easy, I would have done so, however; I only have sdi out (see previous reply)
