Introduction
Features
AJA HD10AVA Converter
The HD10AVA is a miniature, high-quality, audio/video, HD/SD A/D converter.
The HD10AVA automatically detects the video input format and embeds the
audio inputs in the SDI/HD-SDI outputs. The HD10AVA is useful for adding an
SDI/HD-SDI audio/video output to tape decks or any professional video
equipment with analog outputs. The HD10AVA is especially useful for adding
HD-SDI outputs to most HDV cameras or decks by using the component
outputs of such devices. The HD10AVA uses a breakout cable for audio/video
inputs and provides 3 SDI-HD-SDI on BNCs.
