To get an HDMI or SDI signal out of a camera with Analog Component output, you'd need a converter from Analog to HDMI or SDI, however I don't know of any such portable, battery-powered solutions. Just larger units requiring AC power, for local use.

Would this work?

What about Firewire out of the camera to intermediate device that has HDMI or SDI out?

will look into this. had not thought of that.

I bought an AverMedia component to HDMI adapter. You can hook up the RGB and L/R Audio to it, and (powered by USB) it converts it to HDMI. I was able to hook my XHA1 to a Samurai that way. I bought a small power strip that had two USB ports on it. Works like a charm.

I had the same problem in trying to get the HD/SDI signal from my Canon XLH1 into my Atomos Ninja Blade. I first tried Atomos Connect S2H product with great success. Very good product and very well made. A little pricey though.

Next I bought a cheap SDI to HDMI converter on Amazon and used a short cable to a battery pack to power it. This also worked quite well and very much less expensive.

Next I bought a very inexpensive Composite input to HDMI output converter and it worked well but the quality suffered somewhat.

If anyone is interested in the cheap routes let me know and I will sent the links for the products I used.

On a side note the quality of the video out of the XLH1 was many many times better than the tape export.

that would not work out in the field or is there a way round it

Oops, sorry I never saw your post. Anything that has USB power on it would work as a source. Portable phone charger?

Remember analogue will only be SD quality.
