You could try something like the DPS PAR card, the companion image capture card, and software such as Razor-Pro. This would allow you to do all of your edits, transitions, and other stuff using a very simple point and click environment. IMHO this is a very productive way to work,…

Herb, as Tim mentioned an "encoder" at the minimum or an "overlay genlock" out to fill the bill.

Better quality encoders like the Communications Specialties, Inc. Scan…

Craig, That 5-pin socket sounds like it may be a Panasonic "Control-M" interface. I am not sure how (or why) they would use it as a "VITC" reader/writer interface, VITC being a Time-Code format, and not a Control Signal Protocol. Now it is possible that as part of the control…
