>>Will the TBC IV I'm about to buy help this?
No, ie. not directly. The TBC IV has many uses but in conjunction with the PAR
is for grabbing live video to digitize to an ani file on the PAR drive. Other
uses could indeed be to route the PAR output through it and using the TBC IV's
red and blue filters readjust the problem colors.
I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to as black screens between tga
files. I do know that the output of MY Par as measured on both WFM and VS are
as perfect as one could expect with the level of test equipment I use. I have
seen the reddish black problem before (not on PAR)and is quite common as a mis
adjusted screen drive on the red gun of the monitor. Of course if you claim
that known black test signal is OK then it may be something not right in your
PAR. I'm not that familiar with the circuitry of the PAR to comment. It would
seem that more testing is in order for you to determine the source of your
reddish blacks. The easiest thing for you to do right now is substitute
another monitor to see if the problem follows to the new monitor. Then
substitute the source of your files that cause this reddish black. I'll help
you isolate it if I can.
