John, could you care telling me what a transcoder really is, I paln on buying my first animation setup with a second hand Targa+32 PAL, a second hand DQ422 and a new UVW1800 PAL or PVW2800 PAL. I know I cannot connect the Targa RGBsync cable to the R-Y, B-Y and Y component connection of the VTRs, but they have a seperate component2 input one connection and it seems there is a sony cable 9-PIN D SUB to the 16 PIN component connection would this work. Or would I still need the transcoder type thing??? Does sony sell such transcoders??? I think I should at least use component if I get a BetacamSP recorder. BTW you do not know of anyone with a DQ422 for sale or have you any other suggestions for me. I already have the Targa+. So I'm slowely building my system, and I probably need broadcast level stuff. Christophe,
