JVC ProHD camcorder output to SDI
Posted by Eddy Pribeagu on March 3, 2010 at 9:54 pmHi… im currently using JVC ProHD camcorders ( GY-HD110 ) and if anyone can help on what is the best way to get an output to SDI… The outputs on the camcorder now are only IEEE 1394/HDV/DV , component , and composite. Im planning on filming in 720p and the feed will be sent to a video mixer via SDI… thanks for any help!

And at $470, it’s about $500 cheaper than the AJA.

March 5, 2010 at 2:36 amThanks alot guys.. but i was also wondering if i would get better quality converting HDV through the IEEE 1394 port to HD-SDI, since there both digital, instead of from component… what do you guys think?

March 5, 2010 at 11:25 amYou DEFINITELY want to convert from the component out — it’s uncompressed analog. If you go Firewire out, your video is going to get reduced in quality a bit due to the HDV compression and it will come out with a significant delay.

by firewire reduced color sample rate to 4:2:0 (pal) and bit rate reduced to 19 Mbs, and imposition HDV codec (terrible)by component (analog or digital) you have color sample rate 4:2:2 (broadcast) full band of quality, and NO codec.
After converter you should be connect to NANO Flash.
