Re: [FCP-L] Rant: Presumptive Clients

I know it's the wrong list but I never had a legalizer until Avid dropped safe colors. Given the QC monkeys need to justify their existence I always insist on some legalizer. It only takes one kick back to pretty much pay for a good Videotek unit.

I can even monitor my Avid output which is error free and then monitor the HDCam Rec master and get errors from deck output. These errors are less if recording to HDCamSR so the Tek scope is picking up on issues with the record format. I've seen this in more than one facility and more than one SR-5500. I've conferred with Tek and Sony but never got a complete answer. In order to QC log with the tek on a tape output I have to tune down the scope sensitivity, as per Tek's recommendation. Gee Steve how hard is it to go back and insert bars without safe color on. To bad it doesn't toggle that's another beauty of the Videotek unit.
