The VC-50HD’s conversion capabilities

The format of the input to the VC-50HD is detected automatically. The VC-50HD is capable of
performing conversions in either direction (SDI to IEEE 1394 and IEEE 1394 to SDI). The formats that
can be converted and output are shown below.

fig.format-chart.eps

* The VC-50HD does not support up/down-conversion, I/P conversion, or frame rate conversion.

* If you select MPEG-2 TS as the IEEE 1394 output, and input SD-SDI, the bit rate will be approximately one

quarter of what it is when HD-SDI is input.

HD-SDI

1080/59.94i
