VideoFramer S-VIDEO SYNC???

[Dr. Michael M. Cohen]

Question on the framer in s-vhs mode:

According to the VideoFramer Programmer's Guide
(doc # 007-5357-010), looking for example at
tables A-5 and A-8, it seems that SYNC input
is ignored in S-VIDEO mode. Please correct me if I'm
wrong about this. If true, how can one record
S-VIDEO frames to tape in a synced system????
According to the manual for the Videomedia
V-LAN MICRON edit controller, it is necessary
to use house sync, distributed to the MICRON
and connected VTRs in order to achieve frame
accurate edits. I hope someone can correct my
interpretation that the framer can't operate
as advertised...
