Randy, What you are encountering is very peculiar indeed, if one discounts the monitors as the culprit. I have worked many years with Targa's and have not seen this phenomena. I can also attest to the fact that on my PAR I do not encounter this problem in the least. I think from your description that the distortion is as a result of your monitors. The only other thing I can think is that you have a strong magnetic field somewhere, maybe caused by a VCR on a monitor or ? I work with a broadcast monitor to check both Composite and CAV outputs. I have an EVO-9650 for VTR previews which is connected to both Composite from the Targa and SVHS from the PAR. Looks very good indeed. So I suspect the monitors and or a magnetic field somewhere in proximity to the Monitors. Problems like this can drive you nuts, I wish I had a better answer. -JE
