Call me suspicious, but if "gen-lock" signal is off by
0.1% then after 10 hours of recording there will be a 1%
cumulative error.
It is the accuracy of the gen-lock that comes from the black-burst
generator and that's what I wanted to know.
In other words, does anyone ever check the accuracy of a genlock
signal (e.g. one that was purchased on the cheap from ebay)?
