I’ve tried adding the timecode fx to the clip while it was still in the media pool and the result is the same…
Very strange. I would’ve sworn time of day would work.
I’ll try it on my work camera tomorrow (it has this feature) and let you know if it works for me. -
Unfortunately new timecode is generated, starting at 00 🙁

You need to set the end action of each of the submenu clips to return to the submenu’s menu.

There’s no reason why Vegas shouldn’t recognize Time of Day timecode.
Have you tried applying the TC FX to the clip while it’s still in the media pool? That’s the usual trick to getting it to read actual timecode.As far as integration between Stream and Vegas, I’d drop the Digital Rapids folks an email. I know a number of dpsVelocity users who use their cards and have said that the company is very helpful with any requests.

Don’t forget to download all of Edward’s newsletters.
They’re a great resource and will probably answer a lot of the questions you’ll be thinking of as you get deeper and deeper into Vegas. -
There’s an effect in the VideoFX tab in Vegas called TV Simulator that may do what you want. Try it and see.

“It would seem that the difference in pixel shapes somehow is not an issue in Vegas but is in other editing software. Is this true?”
It certainly is true – and that’s one of the truly good things about Vegas. It doesn’t care what PAR (pixel aspect ratio) you throw at it. As long as you “match output aspect”, Vegas automatically compensates. Other NLEs (like the dpsVelocity I also edit on) is very specific about creating graphics in order to conform to the correct PAR.

“NOTE: It is a computer monitor.”
In that case, substituting an LCD panel (if at all possible) is the quickest and easiest solution.
-
Three ways that I know of. One is to use LCDs instead of TVs, although TVs shouldn’t be an issue.
Another is a camcorder with a variable shutter. This feature is sometimes called clearscan, amongst other things, and allows the camera’s shutter to be set to the monitor’s exact scan rate.
Lastly, if it’s a computer monitor, try to set the frame rate to 60 Hz. It may not help but it’s worth a try. -
Are you using DVDA 3.0? If so, Sony recommends that any background media be rendered (from Vegas) in progressive scan format. There’s a few more suggestions at the top of p. 47 in the manual.
