Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Way OT - new product announcement from Sony?

Terry,

If you write about "those" machines to mean the VO-2850s shown in the
YouTube clip, you were "boned" by Sony Broadcast. When they introduced the
BVU-800, they moved the position of the timecode head by 14 frames relative
to where it had been in the BVU-200. So for quite a while there were two
standards in use (the old and the new). If you were using a VO-2850 w.
timecode, it must have been modified by a 3rd-party kit, as timecode wasn't
available from Sony on those machines. And that 3rd-party kit could of
course only conform to one of the two "standards". Not their fault.
