Pete, Thanks for the help! Ok. My original message was a little misleading. I have the timing issue that you described, well done. The problem that I have is in making the LayerA DVE match ProgramA. In other words, I would like to be able to crop the DVE to a 1/4 panel over ProgramA and NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IT. When I do this, I can get it very, very, close, but what I can not get rid of is an overall "darkening" of the video. The hue looks fine, but on very low level shots, for instance a deep-underwater blue, I lose any subtle shading of blues and the picture basically becomes black. In the setup menu, under Input Adjustments, the adjustments that affect the DVE, there is a Y-Gain and a Chroma-Gain that do NOT seem to effect this loss of low-levels. Now to get the DVEs hue to match the incoming signal I do have the hue at like 3 out 256 or 249 of 256; If you understand what I am saying, the hue is like full-left or full-right, and I wonder if I can change something on my TBC to make the hue in the DVE be more in the middle. The other thing I am thinking it might be is some sort of termination or something. The video in general looks fine, so I don't think it is that, but something is definately wrong with the DVE. Thanks for the help, Peter. (and enjoy your vacation!) -John
