    Please clarify your question. Are you asking about trying to CONTROL the tape decks (using the RS-422 interface)? Or are you asking about simply digitizing the VIDEO signal for input to your computer?

    I would start with the video first. Whatever standard your tape deck puts out (NTSC, PAL, etc.) you should set the DeckLink to a compatible video standard. Once that is operating properly, THEN I would tackle the deck control (RS-422).
