Keying the machine on everything is so elegant. Great idea!

[@RetroGadgetMan]

I love this old analogue gear.

Hello can you show what cables should i use to the switcher to pc thank u

[@StephenMcLeod]

Thanks for showing all this old gear!

[@aleatory.exe777]

I can't tell if the t-bar allows for blending multiple signals into each other. Seems like they can wipe all sorts of ways but do they just white out in the middle position? This is the only video mixer I have found locally where I live and need to know lol....love your videos and gear! :)

[@stencilbur]

Can you give us a run down of all the cables you are using in the back for input and output , for us newbies who are just trying to figure it all out 😅

[@catfullofghosts4478]

i might need to make more of an introduction video fo that kind of thing. I'm not sure text is the best way to explain that sort of thing.

[@stencilbur]

That would be amazing if you did

[@vasilegrigore2069]

and what about losing quality using it as a Frame syncronizer (like a cheap TBC) anyone tested inetrlaced PAL from Super-VHS ? there is a visble degradation on single line signals?

[@catfullofghosts4478]

bcos the stuff i make is dirty and glitchy, I havnt really looked it this in regards to QUALITY, anyone else know anything about this?

[@vasilegrigore2069]

@@catfullofghosts4478 seems that is used only with high quality sources (not home-made VHS...) and can be issues with wrong timing of magnetic tapes.

[@tylerreid8500]

Is there a region lock? -if so anyway to get around said lock? I'm looking for PAL and can only seem to source reasonably priced units in America.

[@catfullofghosts4478]

no sadly i think that these units were made to be either PAL or NTSC. you can get converters to change one format to the other, but it is a bit of a pain to have to adapt so all your ins and outs
