Hi Bob,

just looking into a similar issue myself, but i’m thinking that the HD connect will take the HDV, and, retaining it within the digital domian, upsample the HDV to HDSDI, and mux the audio too….yes, we dont need the 422 as the VT has this, but I figure that the conversion in the digital domian has got to be better than going down to YUV analogue HD and especially taking unbalanced analogue audio (which i’m guessing will also be 44.1 not 48 for Digital) and getting this all re a to d’d back plus the sample rate conversion too?….

it seems a very clever little box and I think it ought to do a better job, although the AJA converters are great quality – its just the conversion out to analgue and back for video and audio that seems unnecessary….

cheers Macheail
