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
