digitalFAQ.com Forum - U-matic tape colored square glitches?

Hello Lordsmurf,

Please see picture: https://s23.postimg.org/b71xzx5jv/Still0222_00000.jpg

This issue started when I was looking through some older captures I did and I'm seeing these weird multi colored square glitches randomly in the files like you see in the photo above. They seem to only appear for one frame and disappear. I'm capturing U-Matic tapes by the way.

My setup is as follows:

U-Matic Deck > FOR.A FA-310 TBC > GRASS VALLEY STORM MOBILE > CAPTURING FILE IN GRASS VALLEY EDIUS

I remember this happening a long time ago on the same computer but that was when I had a Canopus ADVC500 and it maybe happened twice ever at the most (that I can remember), definitely not at the rate they are appearing now. The couple times I noticed it with the ADVC500 I remember re-running the whole tape and it didn't do it on the second run.

I think I've narrowed it down and I think it's the FOR.A TBC, my question to you is have you ever seen or heard of such an issue being caused by a TBC?

Any help would be appreciated and thanks!
Jeremy
