42) How many channels of audio are in the HD or SD-SDI stream? Four
channels are transmitted, but only audio channels 1-2 have data. Audio
channels 3-4 are muted because HDV only has two channels of audio.
43) Can the firmware be updated in the field? Yes, a 1394 update utility is
available. The update utility and new firmware can be downloaded from
the Convergent Design website (
http://www.convergent-design.com
).
44) What is the physical size of the box and it’s power requirements? The
overall size (including connectors) is: 6” x 4” x 1.75” (152 x 101 x 44 mm).
At less than 1 lb (0.5kg) the box is very lightweight. The box consumes
about 5 Watts of power; an external 5V power supply (with universal AC
100-240V) is included with each HD-Connect LE™ box.
45) I understand that the JVC camcorder has two additional channels of
uncompressed PCM audio. Does the HD-Connect LE™ support this
function? No, we are still investigating if this is possible.
46) Can I capture in true 24p mode? The current code version embeds the
Varicam flags in the HD-SDI stream for 720p 59.9 output, allowing the
NLE capture software to capture only the original 24 frames of data,
dropping the repeated frames.
