Hi,
I just bought a Sony SEG-2550a Video Switcher (a relic, I know) and am
having problems with it. When I hook up an external source (I tried
with both a Camera and a commercial grade DVD deck) the picture jitters
a million which ways, and looks very unstable. All of the internal
video sources (color backgrounds and the like that generate inside the
actual unit) all work fine.
My Question: Do all of the sources on this switcher (or any real Video
Switcher for that matter) NEED to be synched to run decent video
through it?
When I say decent, I mean using the Mix or Wipe modes from 1 source to
another and not feeling like im in the twilight zone. I upgraded
(however slightly) from a Sima FX-9 video mixer that wouldn't allow me
to do straight cuts because the sources weren't synched. I really only
need that mixing feature on the new switcher.
Should I be able to run video that isn't Genlocked through the board
and still get a decent picture when mixing, or did I screw up and now
need to go buy some TBC's??
Thanks,
Jeff
