    Walter,

    I just got in a Pioneer DVD-8000, but it has been impossible to Sync it with my BetaCam SP decks and Sony Cameras with a Studio Switcher. Any helo would be great as I just spent 1,100 dollars on a DVD player just for its GENLOCK feature. Thanks.

    Ok, I need a Pro CG Generator and the one that mostly suits my needs are from https://www.compixmedia.com but I dont know anyone who uses their equioment. If you happen to know this company or any other SD Character Generator please let me know.

    Ok, I understand. I also wanted to know if there is some kind of software available for the AJA ioLA to use it as a CG Generator for live use (same as the BlackMagic based CG’s). Thanks.

    Jeremy, thanks again. My broadcast station has 3 studios, which are of the “old classic” setup. That is to say that I have the full set of equipment which include a component 8 input switcher (which requires sync), Sony DXC series cameras, Sony CCU’s,26 pin CCU Cables (which are very expensive and easily damaged, TBC’s for connecting non-synchronous equipment like DVD Players, Scan Converters, DVCAM decks, BetaSP decks, the list goes on and on. Recently I am very curious in the Tricaster Broadcast from NewTek that with basically US$50,000 I can arrange a whole studio (with virtual sets} with a couple of SDI cameras like the SONY EX1 or EX3 and cheap decks like the HVR series from SONY, since the Tricaster it has a TBC in every input. But I am a bit skeptical, any experience you might have in this area, any info, please let me know, because all of the Demos I see, make it seem like this piece of equipment is too good to be true, but then again, they only want to sell more. Youre help is very useful to me. Thanks.

    Great. I am very greatful for youre help. If I was to do a BetaCam SP DUB. That is, a copy from BetaSP to BetaSP, is it wiser to go uncompressed than ProResHQ? I used to have 2 BetaSP decks but eventually sold one, so I need a robust solution for this since a make alot of copies for local distribuition to the stations. These copies are usually 3 minutes at most.

    Ok, great. Another question, I am going to be feeding my AJA ioLA different sources like a UVW-1800 Beta SP deck, DVCAM, DV and maybe even HDV material from a SONY HVR-15 deck. I read that I would get better quality using the component out on the Beta SP deck as well as the component out in the HVR deck (instead of the Firewire out), but my question is which setting should I use for all of my projects. I was thinking PRORES which maxes out at about 9MB/sec for SD and has great quality (Much better than DV I hope.) Can you please advise me on the settings, My IOla is shipping and I want to minimize the guessing work when I finally get it. Remember my final output is BetaSP, DVCAM and DVD. No need for HD at the moment. Thanks for youre help.

    I have a new 24″ iMac with a 500GB internal drive, a 3 year old MacBookPro 15″ (first Intel version) and a Western Digital Studio external HD which has FireWire400/800, USB2 and eSata interface. Am I better off using the old MacBookPro with an expresscard eSata controller connected to my ext. HD?
