Re: [Avid-L2] Re: OT: Sony HDW-D1800 playback of 1080 24p

Adding pulldown to 23.98 actually DOES require an add-in board - but
you obviously have it! Some of the early machines had sync issues
that Sony fixed with a firmware update. If your machine is under
service contract, make certain you have the most current firmware
(when it's convenient.)
