    Hi… 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!

    I have that exact camera and use the BlackMagic Analog to SDI miniconverter. Works flawlessly!

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

    Thanks 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?

    You 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.

    only component!!!
    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.

    Wow! $2895 for a Nano Flash? You could buy a whole Mac Pro workstation for that. 😉

    I don’t know why you put up with that. But then I guess we Americans have a reputation for “handling” out of control taxes. 😉
