Re: Time base corrector
by Bob Flood on Apr 28, 2008 at 8:03:56 pm

HI

ebay

If you have a pro deck which has connections on the back for a Drop Out Compensator aka DOC, which is usually an "off tape RF" connection, as well as advance sync, then you should look for Fortel, Hottronic, For-A, and Sony TBCs. The fortel turbo was one of the best, with these great chroma decoding circuits, and i have seen them on ebay for 500

the DOC and Advance sync are waht give you a true "Time Base Corrected" signal which is cleaner to capture or even bump to DV or BetaSP

Of course if you dont have those connections, and you are dealing with a consumer VHS deck, you might as well dub the material to DV, digitize it, and do any correction in FCP

its not the best but its better than trying to dump it straight in.

hope this helps
