Yup- totally solid. I had been using a Convergent HDMI to SDI converter which was unreliable in converting the output of my JVC 720p deck. (The Convergent had less trouble with 1080i and NTSC). The Multibridge Pro has no such trouble. The only down side so far is that my plasma monitor’s DVI input will not accept the Pro’s HDMI output, even though it will accept the HDMI output of my HDV decks.

So, are you digitizing through the HDMI in on the Multibridge Pro from your HDV deck?

Yes- it works fine for booth video and audio. You may still prefer the component route for chroma keying as it gives a softer edge.

Which codecs are you digitzing to?

Usually the Blackmagic version of Apple 8 bit uncompressed. When I get an Intel mac I may switch to the Apple 422
