HDV Capture: Component > Firewire converter? at DVinfo.net

Kit Hannah · June 21st, 2007, 04:51 AM

Okay, maybe I'm just missing something here, but is there a device out there that converts a component signal to HDV so that I can capture it on a computer? I'm not tlaking about a pci card though....looking for something to capture live with my laptop. There are pleanty of DV products that I can find, but not HD/HDV? If you guys know of something, please let me know.
Thanks

there's plenty of devices to convert component to HD-SDI, but, not to HDv.

In July AJA is coming out with a solution to all of our conversion needs with the I/O HD. Price is a hefty $3000 plus, but it will allow many different conversion options and hopefully a real solution for laptop live capturing with Apple's new Pro Rez codec to firewire drives. The Pro Rez codec is in the I/O HD meaning it is a hardware solution instead of the software CPU intensive one available right now that needs an Intel unit to do so. Hope this helps answer your question.
