Back in the early days of 1" VTRs, we didn't have everything capable  
of correct SCH phase. Some sync generators, cameras, CGs and TBCs were  
not RS-170A and vectorscopes didn't have a convenient SCH phase  
indicator. Also, things drift. So the only way to insure perfect  
RS-170A coming out of the switcher was to use a Sync-Proc. Worked well.

Best,
Park
