Patrick, I use the Firecracker in two different ways: genlocked into our production switcher (in composite) and transcoded to Betacam component for single-framing directly to a Beta-SP deck. IMNSHO, the Firecracker is better than anything else out there for output quality — there's no comparison between it and DCTV. Remember that if you're working in composite, the quality of your encoder is VERY important. The FC-24 puts out a pristine signal, but it's RGB — and a cheap encoder will ruin it. Pete
