Leitch DMX6800 de-embedders are cards that sit in their 6800+ series frames. I put in eight at MTV and we've hit up against a funny problem - the embedded output of Sony DSR1500 VTRs will not register - the output of a DSR2000 is fine and sending the DSR1500 to any other piece of equipment (VTRs & Tektronics WVR610 waveform monitors) shows that (seemingly) the output of the DSR1500 is fine. So it really seems that there is a compatibility issue between the VT and the card. I had the luxury of having eight cards and several VTs of each model to play with. How Leitch deals with this will decide wether I buy their glue gear again! I never get this trouble with Crystal Vision!

Ah - give them their due they researched the problem and discovered a timing issue with DSR-1500s - if you turn off audio muting on the card so that it doesn't panic about such trivia then all is well - unless you look at the card edge LED you'd never know the card was whinging!
