Bidirectional Analog DV Converter

The DV-Bridge Pro is a compact, bidirectional DV-analog video/audio (component/composite) converter with integral 4:3/16:9 aspect ratio conversion. The interface operates in three modes: analog to DV, DV to analog, and analog pass through.The DV-Bridge Pro provides easy audio level adjustment, as well as audio level metering with digital VU meters. It also integrates balanced and unbalanced audio inputs. The converter preserves the time code in the conversion process (VITC and LTC). DV-Bridge Pro also provides VTR control, receiving commands over the IEEE-1394 DV interface from DV editing software, such as Apple’s Final Cut Pro and Avid’s DV Xpress, and sending these commands to the VTR via RS-422.For up-to-date compatibility chart and release notes, please see the supporting info column.
