A perfect resource, still as relevant as ever.

Genlock, Clock Gen and their friends are at the top of the "check all of the responsible hardware, the ports, and the cables" list when someone is having a flaky problem that doesn't make sense to anybody. Shortly followed by 44.1 vs 48khz and 59.94 vs 60fps being wrong somewhere

Not to forget someone using a 50ohm CB cable instead of a 75ohm cable. Or someone forgetting a terminator or having the signal double terminated.

Everyone I have worked with in the space is like, people throw "OG" around a lot, but these dudes are lifers. They don't make mistakes like that. It made me wish I was cooler with the theater kids in high school, I had no idea.
