True, good point. Somebody told me that that is quite easy to do from
FCP (no need to re-render video). Would anyone know if this is true?

That is exactly what i was thinking of. I will let you know once i've
done it myself.

Ok, i think we are talking about the same thing here. I checked in the
VVTR website and there were a some of hookup diagrams about how to
achieve this and one just had a midi connection. Nothing else. And
since you are doing this in practice, do you find that the blackburst
is necessary for correct syncing or you reckon it should be there to
bullerproof the situation?

Many thanks once again. Indeed DUC has a lot of information. I am
going to have a look there as well.
