Converting to HD-SDI

[Mr_P]

We use the TV-One C2-2355A Scan Converter

(more functionality than an ImagePro for about a quarter of the price...)

or the TV-One C27200 Dual Scan Converter
http://www.tvone.com/c2-7200-main.shtml
(Dual channel Scan Converter and switcher / processor)

and also the TV-One 1T-C2-520 DVI to HD-SDI as a simpler (cheaper) option

Something I forgot to mention was that I have researched dozens of converters and scalers. I have a very good idea of which ones do what. The important thing for me is to know which ones have proven reliable in application.

The three big things for me are:

1. Genlock: Both Black and Tri
2. Some sort of Web or USB based control panel
3. Ability to hold or generate an accurate EDID (or VGA in)

Hey Simon,

That is very good to know. TV One are the kind I have been looking at. However, I wanted field results before I buy.

Philip,

Thanks for chiming in.

To you both (and anyone else), what are your results, pros & cons?

You're right about the Gefens. 7 out of 8 VGA extenders have failed in less that 3 years. The only reason I use the DVI to HD-SDI Pro Scalers is because they are less than $1200 USD per channel. That's cheap.

Another question is if anyone knows a converter solution that will go over fibre?

Has anyone used the DVEO Scan DO HD?

Anyone used with Tri-Level or Blackburst in an HD system?
