I just recently picked up a Sony EVO-550H Hi8 editing deck. Having been out of the "VCR" world for the past 15 or so years I never gave copy protection a thought. The player will not play tapes from my Sharp Hi8 camcorder. I can not record from my DirectTV. I have no idea what to do about the tapes from my camcorder. But will a SIMA SCC work between my DSS and the deck to remove the Macrovision signal? This deck does not have an RF input/output. Just s-video and bnc ins/outs. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob D
Follow Ups:
I worked in SVHS editing & hi8mm editing & Macrovision wasn't a worry with any 8mm gear. It looks to be an internal problem. Today dvd's have a much greater copyguard than the old Macro. & some even display a vertical rainbow stripe on monitors. Macro screws up the video's vertical blanking interval, but most vhs is on the way out. 1st use of Macro was the film "The Cotton Club back in '84....
I forgot to describe the picture problem. The video looks like 50/50 snow/picture. Horizontal picture shift with slight horizontal roll. Very little color, mostly B/W. A very thin bar of clear video at the bottom of the screen. Could it be possible that this deck has been set up for a format other than NTSC? (since I can not even play my pre-recorded tapes from my camcorder) The manual lists that it is NTSC. Could it be that the heads are just shot? I guess anything is possible.
Symptoms do not sound like Macrovision, IMHO. Perhaps format differences, as you suggest.
