Convergent Design unveils HDV-Connect

Convergent Design has unveiled the HDV-Connect, a high performance HDV/DV to HD/SD-SDI converter.
Intended for both broadcast studio and NLE applications, the stand-alone converter supports 1080i, 720p as well as standard definition applications in both PAL and NTSC.
HDV-Connect includes two HD/SD-SDI outputs with embedded audio and time code for direct connection to HD/SD-SDI based editing systems. Furthermore, with switchable HD/SD video reference input, HDV-Connect can be used with SDI-routers for transmission of HDV/DV material over HD/SD-SDI coax of up to 100/300 metres in length. Additionally, the HDV-Connect outputs linear time code (LTC) over a coaxial connection, enabling video, audio and time code transfers from HDV to HD based decks.
HDV-Connect includes a full-complement of outputs including HD/SD-SDI, component video (in either SD or HD resolutions) and DVI for direction connection to analogue monitors or an LCD panel. Audio I/O is available via two channels of 48KHz AES in addition to embedded audio over SDI. This versatile converter supports HDV to HD-SDI, bidirectional DV to SD-SDI as well as uncompressed (10/8-bit 4:2:2) SD video, 24-bit audio and time code over 1394.
Michael Schell, President of Convergent Designs and creator of the HDV-Connect, said: “One of the most unique features of HDV-Connect is the ability to translate RS-422 deck commands to 1394 AVC for control of an HDV/DV deck from a NLE application. Workflow is improved because users can ‘drive’ their deck directly from the HD/SD-SDI based application and perform log and batch capture operations. Additionally, when used with Firewire-based editing programs, deck control can be ‘turned-around’ with the translation of 1394 AVC to RS-422 deck control. ”
