NO!!!!

Big red flag! These things are terrible.

If you do not need to sync then use one of the DVI to HD-SDI mini converters from Black Magic

Otherwise, look at TVOne and use one of their converters.

I suggest reading a similar thread for more information.

hello

is it possible with your convert TVONE C2-2300A to get input DVI in 1280x1024 and then have a HD-SDI output with very best quality.
in fact i would like to do a acquisition from a laptop DVI with slide (powerpoint) witch is make in different format and then switch it in Catalyst on a panoramic videoprojection with 3 videoprojector by A phoenix HD-SDI card input.

a thinks it's better with TVONE C2-2355A !!!

C2-2300 not available

C2-2355A will do DVI to HD-SDI
Its probably the best value unit on the market...

Hi,

Why not use the Epiphan DVI2USB solo frame grabber??? DVI in, to USB, works great with catalyst and will cost you about 700 euro??
running the ephipan you will be able to grab a DVI from laptop or anything as a live video input in catalyst.

thanks you

the question is : the TVONE C2-2355A is not very expensive (humm) i explain, because if you compare with ANALOGWAY and EXTRON with do the same things but 3x more expensive.

i look for have one for demontration to test it

have a nice day

hello Simon

thanks a lot for your proposition, it's wonderful ... i'm so happy, but i'm in Strasbourg In France... then i think it's not possible, because you are in UK.
maybe the dealer in France can do that, but he haven't in his stock, then !!!!

have a nice day

thanks soo much

Yves
