Premium Members Matthew L. Perez Posted May 14, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) I've been doing research from what everyone is posting and suggesting and I think I may go with a Paralinx Arrow to start with. It's more around in my budget area and the things I've head about it is good so far. Thank you all for your help. -Matt Edited May 14, 2013 by Matthew L.

Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted May 14, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 The paralinx is a great choice and works great with a Decimator 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Matthew L. Perez Posted May 14, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 yeah I've been looking for a decimator 2 as well I'll probably pick one up when I get the paralinx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted May 14, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 The Atomos Connect, or Blackmagic Design Mini Converter may also be good choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Michael Tsimperopoulos SOC Posted May 14, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 The Atomos Connect, or Blackmagic Design Mini Converter may also be good choices. Isn't the Connect strictly AC-powered ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted May 14, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 The Atomos Connect, or Blackmagic Design Mini Converter may also be good choices. The bonus about the Decimator 2 is that it also does downconvertion to SD at the same time which will be useful for the OP. Isn't the Connect strictly AC-powered ? The Atomos Connect is powered by Canon batteries but you can pout a Dummy battery with p-Tap adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Matthew L. Perez Posted May 14, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I actually found a Blackmagic Design CONVBATT/HS Battery Converter HDMI to SDI. It runs off of battery and DC current so in both it be very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted May 15, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 yes I was referring to this one which is more appropriate for living on a camera/sled http://www.atomos.com/connect-converters/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Dan Kanes Posted May 16, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hey Buddies - the connect actually uses Sony NPF style batteries (NPF970) - it's a pretty cool product, but if you can, try to make sure that it fits the back of your monitor if you plan on mounting it to a battery receiver plate. I will try talking to our friends at Atomos and see if I can get pictures to depict what I mean by that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
