Hi, I am using a Sony SLV R1000 SVHS as my recorder in a Control L computer controlled environment with a Sony EVS 7000 and a Sony TR 700 camcorder as the two A/B roll players. The computer environment handles the players with the RC time code quite nicely and accurately, but not so the non time code SLV R 1000. I can get it to work accurately after a bit of trial and error with "edit in" points, but I would like to automate the recorder with a external SMPTE generator/reader which can interface with my computer controlled editor. So- my question concerns the Monaural Audio track(s) on the R1000. The Smpte generator writes the time code on a linear audio track, but I wish to have the audio also on a linear track ( Some of my output will be going to people with older VHS machines that only have a Monaural audio head). I have noticed in the instructional manual for the R1000 that there is a SAP track for bilingual broadcasts which is at times in the manual is interchanged with the term "Sub/R" (sub channel right?) . I am wondering if I record my SMPTE time codes on this channel, and the Audio on the other Monaural track, what will my older VHS users hear? Monroe.
