Is the origianl Multibridge going to ship?
I am curious if the SD verssion of Multibridge is shipping or will be soon. Apparently the holdup on the HD version is some sort of Analog up or down conversion…this is a non-issue on ther SD only version I assume.

There is a line about the original Multibridge in Luke’s post below about NAB. It’s at the end of the new Multibridge announcements. They’ve been waiting for a part or something. Check it out.

Hi Damon,
I hope so and that is the plan. We’re embarrassed and frustrated by the delays. The short version of the story is that the chip which handles analog input has had bugs and the supplier had to make new chips to rectify the problem. This took much longer than we had ever expected and the timelines we were given for their delivery were very unclear and so we just didn’t have clear information to provide to customers which was just terrible. We’ve just received new chips which are supposed to fix the problem but we’re being extremely cautious and running some time-consuming tests to show up any other issues which might or might not occur with the replacement chips. If all the tests go well, then we would ship the current Multibridges very soon as they are already built and ready to go. If the tests don’t go so well, then it will take longer. It’s really frustrating not to be able to provide definitive timelines to customers and I don’t even want to provide you with an estimate as it would just be fiction. However as soon as there is news, we’ll definitely post it here.
Regards,
