<DIV>I remember this unit. It was highly touted. The Grass Valley
3240 series with external reference ended up being the proc of choice.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I found that if I were to accurately time the edit suite with correct SCH
phase, that the proc amp was used more for the clips. This was more
important to us as we did programs that would go to disc. But our facility
did not have as big a system as NBC. We only had two shooting rooms, three
on line edit suites, a lot of other suites that required video in and
out. Using the central router, if we timed everything to that, then
distributed to the rooms by the router, everything stayed in SCH phase.
The only thing that was not was the output of the edit and production
switchers. Did not put frame syncs in the system to keep away from audio
delay problems.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I still see Grass Valley 3240 come up on eBay and they are good proc
amps.</DIV>
