Bidirectional Digital DV

The compact DV-Bridge+ converter unit provides bidirectional, DV-SDI/AES interfacing, with time code data conversion (LTC, DVITC) and VTR control via IEEE-1394/RS422. VTR controls such as stop, play and rewind are received by DV-Bridge+ via an IEEE-1394 interface, and sent to the VTR over an RS422 interface. DV-Bridge+ is ideal for transferring DV to SDI plus AES in news environments, and for transferring SDI plus AES to DV in a post-production, DV editing facility. PAL/NTSC (including VITC time code), S-Video and analog audio outputs simplify the monitoring and dubbing of the DV signal. While primarily designed for DV editing, the converter also supports the DVCPRO format. For up-to-date compatibility chart and release notes, please see the supporting info column.
