<P align=left>The Prime Image Model 50II is a high-quality, multi-featured TBC /
synchronizer ideally suited to a wide variety of video production applications.
In addition to offering full transcoding of composite and component signals in
and out, the Model 50II provides full proc amp controls and many extra features
usually found in units costing considerably more. For example the Model 50II
offers automatic gain control (AGC on/off) horizontal position, vertical color
advance (1,2 or 3 lines), horizontal chroma-to-luma adjustments, three levels of
detail enhancement, variable rate strobe, and ultra-stable freeze (frame or
field). Options available for 3-way adaptive comb filtering, hot switch, and DC
power.Control Options:R1 Remote Control - RS232 handheld remote control for all
Prime Image products with an RS232 port.R2 Remote Control - RS232 rack mountable
remote control for all Prime Image products with an RS232 port. </P>

<DIV><FONT size=3>I agree completely with Chris's
comments. If you have off-air recordings of broadcast
video, then as long as the TBC will deal with the lack of burst,
you may be OK. The problem comes with tapes made from B&W
non-broadcast cameras. It was VERY common in the days of
B&W EIAJ recordings to have cameras that did NOT produce RS-170
sync. At the worst, many were random interlace. The next step up
was fixed interlace, but often without equalizing pulses and with
non-conforming widths for sync and blanking. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>In modern-day equipment, just about everything that uses a
composite video input expects to see burst present. In doing quad
transfers, there can be problems with B&W quad tapes due to the lack of
burst, necessitating the addition of burst before the signal is
usable.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>This brings up some more cans of worms.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is the sync on the tape NTSC EIA sync? If not, the TBC may not
recognize the Vertical interval and memory addressing will be an
issue. Plus if not interlaced, I have no idea what will
happen. This is experimental territory for me.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Next, you have to make sure that the TBC will process Black and White
signals. A multiple of 3.58 is used in all TBC's to generate a write
clock. Usually 4X but also 3X. If there is not a color burst,
then the TBC has to generate a write clock. Many times this is done
with an oscillator that is referenced to the H sync frequency. Make
sure that the TBC can do this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Wish you luck with this one.</DIV>
