color bars for GL-1
 
As far as I know, the GL-1 does not have this option built in as the new GL-2 advertises . Any suggestions on how to record color bars at the beginning of every tape (after blackening, I presuime)? Thanks in advance.

There is an undocumented trick to displaying color bars on the GL-1, although they are not SMPTE-compliant bars. We used to have an article explaining the trick on the informational section of this site DVInfo.net but I sure can't find it any more. Perhaps someone else here remembers it?

Yes it's possible.
Here below the link of the complete procedure.

Bravo Giampy!

BTW, the color bars on the GL1 are 100% levels, not SMPTE's 75%. But we put our GL1 on a broadcast vectorscope and waveform monitor and the bars were -extremely- good.

Just an FYI...
