Thinking again about that, I'm starting to doubt that they actually do. The sync pulses themselves are not that hard to produce, but the burst signals necessary for the colour subcarrier do require some quite special analogue circuitry. It may well be that it's a black burst generator and a time base corrector what you need to approach the problem on the analogue side. Those machines are professional video equipment. Try to get them from a studio where they switch to digital video processing or it will cost you a fortune. Greets, Kiste
