  • BMD Analog to SDI OpenGear converter for composite video??

    Posted by Mikko Leino on June 26, 2012 at 8:20 am

    Hello,

    Can I use this OpenGear converter for composite to SDI or is it only for component source? If I understood correctly I can choose the input mode by using the DIP switch. Still I red from BMD catalog that this is not specified for composite…I am bit confused.

    Cheers,
    Mikko Leino

    I’m pretty certain that the input source can be switched from component to either composite or s-video through the dip switch settings.

    You can indeed choose composite as your source.

    Mr Helling;
    How do configure the card to accept composite Video???? There is no instruction in the BMD Converter manuals. Thanks for your time.
