SDI Out

[abbewest]

Hello Masters!

Could you plesase help me in solving this Q?

I have two Catalyst who work fine. A customer wants to have SDI OUT for distribution purposes.
Can i install a SDI OUT Card in my G5´s?
I thought i could use a BlackMagic Decklink card. But that is only SDI IN or what?

All the best.

no you cannot use a sdi out card and get sdi out.

You have to get a scan convertor which converts vga or dvi to sdi.
There are quite a lot of these available.
I dont know the best of cheapest ones.

the picolink, thats composite video only isnt it?

he probably wants to convert vga to sdi.

there are quite a lot of devices that do this.
i dont know which ones people are using and recommending at the moment.

Hi
Thanks for fast replies! The Miranda Stuff is great, but not quite what i want.
I´ll guess i have to talk my customer into some other solution.

there are a lot of rackmounted sdi convertors from vga out there.
to suit different budgets and different requirements.

the miranda thing is not representative.

what does your client want to do?

[samsc]

extron makes a more representative box to do vga to sdi conversion,
many other companies do these boxes.
