Glad to hear that! If it worked before, it can work again! An old Chief Engineer told me that.
Are those 8 bit units? TBC's and Frame Sync's are either 8,9, or 10 bit. That has to do with quantization of the signal. Eight bit units chop the analog signal into 256 levels before dumping them into the memory. Nine bit units are 512 levels and 10 bit units 1024 levels. More bits require more memory but give a cleaner picture. The only 10 bit units I ever knew of were Sony and Tektronix. CNN had a Sony 10 bit unit when I was there. It took up about a foot of rack space.
