  Coax/SDI cables?

  Posted by Kristen Jorgensen on October 17, 2011 at 4:32 pm

  Hello!
  I’m very interested in getting the DeckLink Duo for our online streaming (we use Dazzles now and they make our NEW computer blue screen all the time…apparently this is a common problem with the Dazzles.) We currently run Coax cables to component video inputs for the Dazzles. This may be a very dumb question, but the DeckLink Duo has SDI inputs…can I hook up my coax cables to that? What kind of adapter do I need?

  The Dazzle uses RCA’s correct? By Coax do you mean Belden cable or something from Radio Shack? If it’s real coax cable it should already have BNC connecters on it if not, you can always get adapters (RCA Female to BNC Male). Honestly if someone already terminated the ends with something like RCA’s, I would suggest finding someone who can chop them off and put on some BNC’s.
