Nick Hill Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 We've recently upgraded to a Sony FS7 as our main camera. The Pilot we own has a standard composite input, and the FS7 doesn't have a composite out, so as far as I can see we have two options: either upgrade the monitor, or find an HDSDI -> composite converter small enough to be flown on the sled which can be powered by DTap. I got in touch with AJA who suggested the HD10MD3, but for that price we may as well upgrade the monitor! Is there an alternative box that'll do what we want? Thanks in advance Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Benedict Heinzl Posted January 12, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 There is a cheaper box from Blackmagic: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/miniconverters/techspecs/W-CONM-01 200$ I think.

Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted January 12, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 The Decimator 2 is the industry standard in terms of downconverter http://decimator.com/Products/MiniConverters/decimator2/decimator2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
