Tom, Was it you who said that it was possible to limit the editing in compositie to Toaster transitions and still edit the rest of the tape in S-Video ? I use the Sony R5UC as my record deck and inputing both the composite (from the toaster) and Svideo direct from the TBCIV automatically disables the composite input. It seems to me the only way would be to make some kind of switchbox on the S-Video cable to set it to open whenever the editing came to using the Toaster ie. more than the simple cuts editing. Thanks, Rocky

Jerry, I don't believe I'm the person who said that you could edit Toaster transitions in composite and the other video in S-video. I am using the DPS Personal Component Adapter along with the TBC IV's for editing. I output an S-video signal from the PCA's S-video Program Out to the S-input on my Pansonic AG-1960 (used as the recording deck). I output the Toaster's composite Program Out to a composite input on my AG-1960. By flipping a switch on the AG-1960 I can display the Toaster Program output either directly from the Toaster card or Toaster output from the S-video Program Out of the PCA card. The latter is always a cleaner, better video signal and is what I always record. I don't switch back and forth between transitions and normal video. I record everything from the PCA's S-video Program Out. Tom
