HDV/DV to HD/SD-SDI Solution
An HDV/DV to HD/SD-SDI converter was announced by Convergent Design yesterday. It's called HDV-Connect. It was displayed at NAB, but somehow most of us missed it. At $2495, and with a size of 12"x7"x1.7" it won't be a mobile, affordable solution for cost-effective use of the HD100 uncompressed 720p60 component output, but it seems to be another viable option for a piece of the puzzle in creating a workflow for using the HD100's uncompressed 720p60 output with a RAID array, etc.

Sorry Chris. I meant to place this thread on the HD100 forum. Please move it...

I don't believe the HDV Connect box INPUTS component, I believe it can only input HDV via the 1394 connector. From there, it will OUTPUT HD-SDI and component, so for uncompressed, this box won't do as the 1394 stream has MPEG-2 compression.
For more info - here's the announcement from a few weeks ago: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=42872 |

Mike is correct, the only INPUT to the HDV Connect is Firewire. Then you get component out, SDI out, DVI out, and 1394 pass thru.

Oh well - close but no cigar. If it had component inputs and outputs, and could pass through uncompressed data to the HD/SDI bus, it could have potentially filled the filled the converter gap for an uncompressed workflow. It's probably just a matter of a short time before some enterprising converter company sees this viable need and creates such a converter. Hopefully it will be small and affordable...

You never know what the guys in Colorado are gonna do....HDV Connect is a brilliant little box, so is the SDConnect. I've installed several SD Connects in places like ABC/Nightline, WFAA Television, KUTV, and other broadcast houses, plus several post places. They're stuff rocks.
Wouldn't it be cool to see the SD Connect be HD capable? One can only hope.

If you're looking for HD analog component to HD-SDI, here are two products:
