I see!
I just digged into old ancient documentations and apparently just like we manually use Bars-note to make sure our waveform monitors are working correctly and that our signal is in Limited TV Range during live events, that very same signal was used as "Reference" by old TBC to make sure levels were matching and that there weren't any dodgy things going on like sudden timecode changes and so on.
I didn't know VTR were so clever.
So now all I need to do is to bring the old SD bars-note reference to the office in which I'm doing the Remastering and connect it to the VTR so that it's gonna be referenced!
