HD-Connect SI

Bring HDV into Your Existing HD/SD-SDI Workflow.....

The Convergent Design HD-Connect SI is an HDV to HD/SD-SDI converter box featuring embedded audio and time-code. The ultra-portable unit offers a cost-effective solution for converting HDV material from Sony, JVC or Canon decks or camcorders to uncompressed HD/SD-SDI.


	Users can connect the HD/SD-SDI output to their NLE systems and convert HDV to DVCProHD, DNxHD or uncompressed HD in real-time, thus eliminating all the Long GOP (and long render times) associated with HDV editing. Additionally, the HD-Connect SI converts RS-422 deck commands to 1394, so the HDV deck or camcorder can be directly controlled from an editing application. Offline/ Online workflows as well as batch captures are easily supported. Finally, tape dubs from HDV to HDCAM or DigiBeta entail only a single coax connection via the HD/SD-SDI cable which carries video, audio and time-code.
