1. On Component Video Patch Panel patch “Digibeta” out to “Beta” in
2. On Analog Audio Patch Panel patch “Digibeta channel 1 &2” out to “UVW1800 L&R” in
3. On Analog Audio Patch Panel patch “Digibeta TC” out to “UVW1800 TC” in
4. On front of the Betacam SP deck switch the “Timecode Input” to “External” and switch the “Video Input” to “YRB” (this enables the component video input)

To monitor the dub
1. On Composite Video Patch Panel patch “UVW1800 mon” out to “NTSC color mon in”
2. On Analog Audio Patch Panel patch “UVW1800 audio mon” out to “audio mon” in

To begin recording
1. Press play on digibeta and record and play on beta SP
2. Make sure the timecode on the dub matches the master
