toast glitch in blk fade
I have noticed with my version 2.0 Toaster that, after blacking a tape with
black from the Toaster, when I cut in for a fade up there is a small
(approx. 1 IRE) shift in the black level-in short I see a jump on the
fades. I spoke to someone at customer service who assured me that this was
impossible. While I appreciate his confidence, I am a broadcast editor
with an engineering background, and I know what I'm seeing. I'm curious if
anybody else has noticed the same thing? I have checked all the system
timing and since it is not happening on anything other than the blk input,
it is not in whatever subroutine runs the dissolves. A puzzlement! Also,
my preview output SC is 180 degrees out of phase w/program. I know in
Toaster 1 that both PGM and PVW outputs were proc'd, and they appear to be
in version 2 as well, so I can't understand the shift. It's not crucial,
but I would like to know what I'm seeing. BTW if any NewTek design people
are listening it would be great if at some point a version came out that
would allow the user to turn off the proc circuitry, or else leave PVW
unproc'd. It would make timing a whole lot easier! All replies
appreciated. -dk
