The Marshall 70XP now comes with loop-thru on the HDMI ! ! ! ......for about $80 more than the previous 70XP

Jim, do you have a link to that "loop-thru" version? I can't find any listing that shows anything apart from the single input version.

Thanks for the link, Jim. One related question: If you have either the HDMI model or the SDI model and feed it a signal, will there be any video appearing on any of the other connections or does the signal only appear on the loop-thru connection?

[Jim Martin]

You send it in HDMI, it goes out HDMI. You send it in HD SDI, it goes out HD SDI. No converting or cross pass through.

If your camera has both HDMI and HDSDI outputs, I'd suggest going HD-SDI. The connector is solid and you can perform much longer runs with HD-SDI if needed. In my experience, the quality of the image will be the same in runs under 50' for both HD-SDI and HDMI.

Of course the HDMI monitors are less expensive if cost is a concern. However, being able to throw a right angle adapter BNC and have a solid connector that won't break in the field is a big concern for run n gun shooting.

Here's a picture of cool new coiled flexible HDMI cable called the Flexicord I bought and broke on first use.
