HDV to ASI Converter
The ASI-Bridge CAM is a camera-mounted HDV to ASI converter, which offers
direct transmission of HDV news footage, and more effective HDV recording
to an MPEG-2 server. The ASI-Bridge CAM can also be combined with the
HD-Bridge DEC+ to create a highly effective long range HDV newsgathering
system. This overcomes the short range limits of Firewire cable, and allows more
flexibility in the field.
The ASI-Bridge CAM interface accepts HDV via an IEEE1394 connection, and
converts it to standard MPEG-2/ASI format. The interface is ideal for HDV news
gathering, and can be used to convert HDV directly to ASI without the need for a
costly HD MPEG-2 encoder. It also allows direct MPEG-2 recording on a server for
cost effective preparation of dailies. The use of ASI cabling from the camera means the dailies recording device can be
located further away from the camera. The compact interface mounts discretely between an HDV camcorder and a tripod,
and accepts power from the camera battery or from a dedicated in-line power supply.
