SD Video= 21Mbytes/sec (8-bit)
33) Are the analog component, SDI, AES, and LTC outputs all active (hot)?
Yes, you can use all the outputs simultaneously, though the analog
composite output is active in SD mode only.
34) Can I connect the outputs to an LCD or Plasma panel? Yes, via the
component outputs. You can also view the video on a composite video
monitor (SD mode only). Additionally, one of the HD-SDI outputs could be
connected to a low-cost HD-SDI
→
DVI/HDMI converter box for pure digital
connection.
35) Can I get HD and SD out simultaneously? No, if you select HD, then the
component and SDI outputs are all operating in HD resolution (720p or
1080i as selected by the switches). If you select SD, then the analog and
SDI outputs all output in standard definition mode. (The Composite out
only works in SD mode).
36) Can I control an HDV Camcorder from an RS-422 cable? Yes, the HD-
Connect LE™ converts the RS-422 deck commands and time code
queries to 1394 AV/C commands.
37) How does the HD-Connect LE™ handle time code? The time code is
read from the HDV source (over firewire), and then transferred to SDI,
LTC, and RS-422 simultaneously. From the control application you may
select from embedded or queried time-code. Embedded time code is
extracted from the HDV stream, while queried time code derives from
device responses to AV/C time-code queries sent out over the 1394 bus.
Use of embedded time codes will generally lead to somewhat more frame-
accurate batch captures. When the HDV device is not playing, HD-
Connect LE™ will always report queried time codes.
38) Will the box convert 1394 deck control commands to RS-422? Yes, just
set the selector switches accordingly. (Coming soon)
39) Has the audio/video synchronization been verified? Yes, A/V (lip sync)
has been tested and found to be in sync.
40) Can I monitor the audio out? Yes, there is a 3.5mm stereo audio
(unbalanced) output for monitoring.
41) Is the audio compressed? The HDV audio is compressed using MPEG-1
Layer 2 standard. The output of the HD-Connect LE™ box is
decompressed to 16-bit 48Khz audio (for AES, SDI-embedded, and
unbalanced analog output).
