BVW-50 component headache!

Hey guys!

I am trying to connect a BVW-50 Betacam Sp Recorder Player with my FCP. I would like to come in and out component using the 26pin cable out of the deck.

I have a Black Magic Decklink SP card in my G5. I was wondering if I were to buy a 3 BNC Male component cable to a 26 pin male cable and use a coupler to then marry it to the snake coming out of the Decklink card, would I be able to get component video in and out?

I know that if you go 26pin (BVW-50) to 29pin (camera) you would be able to record the camera in the deck.

Very confused...anyone has had this same scenario?

Thanks
 
Sorry Super8 -- I had that very machine. I gave up and just went BNC to BNC on my AJA-IO box.

The RS422 is VERY touchy on that darn deck too.

Don't have a real answer for you.
