Stephen, We go out to a BVW-75 all the time and used the following setup: Targa+ Diaquest 422 Techtronix Sync Generator Faroudja Transcoder (great btw) My understanding is that you should stripe your tape and record with capstan set at 2 fields. The cabling is as follows: Black burst to Ref Video In on BVW RGB and House compsite sync into the Tcoder Component video into BVW (make sure the component switch is UP on the back of the BVW and the input select on front is set to component as well) Finally, with a BNC T connector you have House comp sync, comp sync into the Targa +, and Ref Sync In from the Diaquest. A diagram is available on page 189 of the Diaquest manual. When you render to disk, it doesn't matter how you go out to your deck and component should give you a FAR better picture than composite. Finally, Truevision sells calibration software for about $150. Hope all this is helpful to you! Seth
