Thanks for the replies.

Still, I am surprised no one has made a larger issue of this problem on the net. It looks like people are just taking it or have truly made the transition to a complete HD workflow.

I have rented two Extron sdi to analog converters for my IMAG gig this weekend. Affordable enough to be a solution until the AV companies go HD.

I will let you know how it turns out.
