Greg, >> get a good sync source That's an interesting thing … the DQ422 has the source for gen-locking … but the software only version doesn't …. I haven't heard anyone complaining about DQ's software only … so something seems "weard". I talked to a fella yesterday (I'll get his name … I've forgotten it now) who says he worked with Gary et'al with 3DS development. He's using SoftVTR with a 7750 (422 VTR) and says it works great (actually .. he had a heck of a time in the beginning until he changed a variable in a config file telling the software that it was a Panasonic VTR .. "now it works great"). Something bothers me about having to but a card in the machine, plug it into itself … etc .. when its just a serial connection. Anyways, if I'm sticking with Tagra+32's for my customers, I can use that as the sync … eh? I guess its the engineer in me …. when something seem "not quite right" (DQ422 on a new deck vs. software only) … its hard for me to just go "… ehhh … O…K…". I've got a few more "referals" to check out that they've given me… looking before I leap ya'know. Ang
