Fred, This is no reason why you shouldn't be able to time your Toaster and MX-50 such that you have NO horzontal picture shift. In fact, I've set up several users on hybrid systems that are running both Y/C and composite. From the Y/C tape decks, the Y/C video runs directly to the MX-50 and on out to the Y/C edit deck – Y/C all the way. Also from the Y/C decks, we ran composite video to the Toaster, with Toaster Program going to input 3 or 4 of the MX-50. The MX-50 does an acceptable job of decoding composite video back into Y/C. With the built-in frame syncs on the MX-50, timing is greatly relieved. The trick, though, is to have a controllable reference signal feeding Toaster's input 1. This can be a camera with H and SC adjustments or any kind of slave black burst generator, such as a Toast Timer. With everything dialed in, you should be able to do match frame edits between the two.
