would you share what you did to make it work?

I have the dell 24″ as well (good choice btw!) and I want
to see HD on it and hardware downconverted SD on our
sony sdi crt monitor.

the notes i have from kristian are:

Turn on hardware down conversion and use the SDI B output to connect to the SD monitor. This way, you can monitor SD via SDI and HD via DVI.

I did this, but all i see is pink snow on the sd monitor.

How did you do it?

Hi Borjis
Yes the dell 24″ with the mbe definatly rocks!

Well if I had the cords in the correct way in the first place(I am using hosa bnc to s-video breakout cable) in prempro2, AE, deckcontrol. So mac/pc drivers might work differently.

I think all I really did was have hardware down conversion activatled and working(without the dell). Then power off, turn everythink off.

Then plug the dell into the MBE dvi output.
Then turn on dell,
-turn on multibridge,
-turn on computer .

Then if it doesnt work once your in your edit programe then restart it and try again. I think compared to our little (pvm14 n6a) trinatron the dell looks 100 times better….unfortunatly I dont know what is more accurate. I suppose you would need to get it to look good on both. I havent played with any dell calabration yet.

Also 2k wont do down conversion from a 2k project but both 2k and 3k files work in a hd project. We have tested it but of coause our onboard raid cant play it back properly. Hd 1920×080 50i is fine. Our poard is a asus a8n32.
Sorry I’m rambling but hope this info can help in someway.
