Kinda OT...Adding SAP track to Betacam Master

Jsnkc wrote on 1/4/2006, 11:15 AM

We just had a client ask us if we had the capability to add a SAP track to their masters...I would assume that we have what we need to do it....but how to do it is another question. They have Beta masters and we use the Sony PVW-2800 decks...anyone done this before that could shed some light on exactly how to add the SAP track or point me in the right direction??

Thanks

Take a look at the Descriptive Video Service FAQ on the WGBH site, specifically "What production materials should I provide to Descriptive Video Service?".
As I recall, the PVW-2800 is limited to two audio tracks and SAP requires a third, hence the extra hardware requirements.
HTH.
