HD-Bridge DEC+

Miranda's HD-Bridge DEC+ is a high quality HDV (MPEG-2) decoder interface with multiple output formats for news gathering, recording, monitoring, and on-air playout. HD-Bridge DEC+ features two HDV IEEE-1394 ports (iLink, Firewire), an ASI input, and a Genlock reference input. Dual digital video outputs provide either HD-SDI or SDI with embedded audio and Time Code. One output is a clean feed, and the other features Time Code burn-in and aspect ratio markers. The interface also provides composite, SD/HD component video, AES and analog audio, and LTC outputs. A RS-422 port is available for VTR control, and a built-in cross converter allows 1080i/720p HD cross-conversion. The interface can also perform 720p24 HDV to 1080PsF24 HD-SDI conversion for high-end 24p production, and there is also a 1080i/720p HD to SD downconverter. A lower cost version of the HD-Bridge DEC+, called HD-Bridge DEC, is identical except that it does not include the ASI and Genlock inputs.
