Hi all!
I'm an audio guy that's slowly started to get into
prosumer video lately. I'm in the market for a few good value HDMI to
SDI, and SDI to HDMI converters. (I normally run dual screens for
worship music lyrics, videos and such.) Pretty much I'm coming HDMI out
of computers and want to do SDI runs to projector, but then the level
of projectors I'm working with do not have SDI input, so I have to get
back to HDMI.
I've worked a lot with the DataVideo Converters, but at $300 a pop that would add up real quickly.
What
are the thoughts on the Black Magic Design converters? Especially the
bi-directional ones like the "Blackmagic Design Micro Converter
BiDirectional SDI/HDMI" or "Blackmagic Design Mini Converter UpDownCross
HD"?
Are there better ones for the money I should be looking at?
Thank you so much!
PS - As a side question, if anyone has a source for good quality SDI cables that are value-priced, that would be helpful too!
