Here's the way I used to do the DQ process. Hook up the Targa+ sync out to the reference in on the DQ board. Feed the Black Burst out from the DQ to the video in. Run Init then TIMECODE. Hit Record-Play and stripe your tape end to end. For recording animation rewire as follows: Keep the targa+ sync out hooked up to the ref in on the DQ board. Remove the B. Burst cable from the Video in on the VCR and replace with a Video out from the targa+. Run TMODE 11 then your DQ422 then launch 3DS and record from the 3DS software in the keyframer. If you use action animator the setup is somewhat different. I found thet the 3DS VTR was much easier to use. When you run Tmode followed by targedit, I believe you just overwrote the Tmode. I thought the targedit would write a batch file that could later be run to init the targa+ for special setups. Simpler to just run TMODE 11 or TMODE 11 6. The trick is to get the time code striped in sync with your video tracks. The method using DQ time code was found by me to be troublesome so I switched to using Targa+ sync and never missed a frame after switching. Also be sure your VCR is in the "edit" mode.
