Hi Chris,
When you turn on Hardware Down Conversion on the Multibridge Extreme, this is what you get out of the ports:
SDI Channel A: HD-SDI
SDI Channel B: SD-SDI
DVI: HD
Component: HD
Composite: – (composite doesn’t have enough bandwidth of HD video)
If the Analog Output Down Conversion is enabled:
SDI Channel A: HD-SDI
SDI Channel B: SD-SDI
DVI: HD
Component: SD
Composite: SD
We support 720p59.94 Down Conversion for 720 HD. 1080i50 gets down converted to PAL. 1080p23.98 and i59.94 gets down converted to NTSC.
