Hello,
We will be setting up a new editing computer whic will be used to edit mostly in HDV. A lot of our projects are edited and mastered in HDV, but usually (for now) we downconvert them to SD for DVD usage. So we are looking for the best/value hardware solution. We will be viewing the HD footage on a Sony 40" LCD with HDMI input, and a Sony CRT monitor with S-Video input. We would like them both to show realtime from an HDV timeline.
The only possible solution I can come up with at this point is a Blackmagic DeckLink HD Extreme ($995) outputting to S-Video to monitor and SDI to a Blackmagic HDLink converter ($445) to HDMI monitor.
Is this the only solution? Has anyone tried a similar approach? Will this setup keep sync? I think AJA's new IoHD would work for my needs but I can't justify $3,500 so I can edit in HDV. I will not be using Pro Rez....
Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
