Evrim KAYA Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 is there any (cheap) way how to convert CVBS (composite) to SD SDI? here you go: http://www.decimator.com/Products/MD-DUCC/MD-DUCC.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members William Demeritt Posted February 13, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Evrim: that device is the single most misleading piece of electronics sold in our industry. I bought the MD-DUCC expecting it to do exactly that, and it absolutely does not do CVBS to SDI. Furthermore, it cannot even do HD-SDI to CVBS and scaling to HDMI at the same time, something the Decimator 2 does quite adequately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last month, I was decided to buy this device for a project. But the job fell through. But seriously, when I read: • True Down Up Cross conversion, allowing the conversion between any of the supported formats. Simply select the output format And then, • Selectable analog video from: 3 x CVBS / YPbPr / RGB / CVBS & YC On a product page from a reputable manufacturer (I’m a decimator owner since forever) I tend to believe what I read. Well, No more :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evrim KAYA Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 black magic design also offers a vide variety of converters. two of them might be helpful to your needs: Mini Converter Analog to SDI -- Analog YUV/S-Video/Composite to 3G-SDI with 2 ch AES/EBU or analog audio. or Mini Converter UpDownCross -- Up, down and cross converter, includes full NTSC/PAL standards converter. link: http://www.blackmagi...miniconverters/ ps: i had some problem with BM converters in the past about their input voltage range being very narrow but i think they solved this problem now.

Bolt is HD-SDI only no down converted analog signals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
