Edirol VC-50HD | HD-SDI Video Field Converter Bi-Directional

Features:

The VC-50HD converts from HD-SDI to 50/ 35/ 8 Mbps MPEG-2 TS as well as HDV format (25/19Mbps). The unit also supports conversion from SD-SDI to DV format (25Mbps) and 12/ 9/ 2 Mbps MPEG-2 TS.
*Up/Down conversion, I/P conversion, NTSC/PAL conversion, Frame conversion are not supported.

Bi-directional video conversion between HD/SD-SDI and MPEG-2 TS/ HDV/ DV
Portable and Lightweight with High Performance
HDMI Output for convenient monitoring
External/Internal Battery Support
Unprecedented convenience and flexibility

HDMI Output allows fexible and convenient monitoring
The dedicated HDMI Output port provides display and monitoring of both the video and audio* signal. The output can also be used to directly connect to a large display or video projector.
*Audio signal is only available when the source is HD/SD-SDI.

Setup and Control via PC and/or dipswitches
The VC-50HD can be controlled using dedicated PC utility software via USB. This allows setting up direction, codec type, SDI audio channels, etc. Presets can be saved to enable quick and convenient selection via dipswitch settings.

The VC-50HD supports three different types of power supply: AC power adaptor, AA batteries, and external battery support. The built-in 8AA battery tray can supply seamless failover power should the AC power become disconnected or while changing over external battery packs. Additionally the VC-50HD can accept V-Mount and Gold Mount external batteries systems.
