I strongly suggest that you buy a cheap Horita Black generator, and set your BVW75 to INTERNAL TC, and PRESET (under the front panel), and everything will work just fine.

A tri level sync generator is used for working in 23.98 or 24 p modes. It allows the VTR and the Blackmagic card to lock to a 23.98 reference.

This is no different than a regular black generator that you use to lock your normal system to 29.97 (in the US). Except standard black generators cost about $300 – $400 , and tri level sync generators cost between $3000 – $10000.

If you are not recording back to a 24p VTR (you shoot in 23.98, but you finish at 59.94), then you don’t need to buy a tri level sync generator.
