Bryan,

I have the same situation. I have a HDpro card in my G5 and occasionaly need to capture from Beta. With the unknown status of the multibridge I went with the Miranda VTR-100. The VTR-100 attaches to the back of the Beta SP deck and then converts the component signal to sdi. It will convert your audio to AES or it can actually mux it together with the SDI signal. The Miranda performs the reverse operation so you can record to Beta as well. While this is expensive ($4500-5000) it does work.

Thanks,

Bryan

Marco,

I have had this problem as well. I am using a Miranda VTR-100 to convert my UVW-1800 Beta Sp deck to SDI and SPdif. I have a Decklink HD Pro card into a G5 with UL4D with Huge storage as well. While capturing, I always get crackle, once the footage is captured it plays fine. I am using a Dolby digital surround decoder into a Dolby CP series distributor. I can’t figure out what the issue is. Any ideas from Blackmagic?
